An adjudication being led contra hæreditatem jacentem upon the apparent heir's renunciation, it was argued, That the apparent heir afterwards resolving to enter, could not have exhibition ad deliberandum against the adjudger, because the renunciation was a virtual approbation of the adjudger's diligence. Answered, There is no presumption when one renounces, that he does it in any other view than to save himself from being liable; and, when he afterwards proposes to enter, there is the same reason he have an exhibition ad deliberandum against the adjudger as any other. The Lords refused the action ad deliberandum in this case. See Appendix.
