Crocerig reported John Sandilands of Countesswells, against Mitchell, in Aberdeen, and Rolland of Disblair, being a competition between a general and a special assignation to some back-bonds. The general is first intimated; but, wanting the papers when it was drawn, it does not condescend on the date or tenor of it, and bears only a back-bond, in the singular number; whereas there were more than one: and, in a pursuit of exhibition at his instance, Mitchell discovering this defect, he procured a special assignation. But the Lords looked on this as a trick, and preferred the general assignation.
