The Lords found the count produced, fitted betwixt Andrew Houston, one of the copartners, and Sir James, behoved to be the rule of counting in this process, both quoad charge and discharge; unless Sir James would produce the books, or some other more authentic document, to convelí the same; in regard ye cannot use it for the charge and reject it for the discharge; for that were idem approbare et reprobare.
