Mersington reported John Scot, Merchant, against Sir George Ogilvie of Newgrange. The Lords sustained an inhibition, though it was objected that its execution was on a paper apart, and not on the back of the letters, and did not design him, but referred to the letters: in regard the Act of Parliament 1672 concerns summonses and not diligences; and that here he was sufficiently designed, by his lands lying within the regality of Aberbrothick; unless they would say there was another of the same name whose lands also lay within the said regality.
