In the cause at the instance of William Junkison, against the Lady Ardvorlick, the execution of a wakening of the process being quarrelled as null, for that the defender's house was not designed; and William Junkison having afterwards produced another more formal copy of the execution, wherein the dwelling-house was expressly designed; the Lady alleged that the execution first produced and given out in the process being null, the messenger could not supply the defect thereof, either by a new execution, or by amending the old one.
The Lords repelled the objection, and sustained the new execution, in respect Junkison offered to abide by the same; albeit such mending of an execution of horning, whereof the conclusion is penal, inferring the confiscation of one's whole effects, would not be allowed.
