Carstairs of Radairny having adjudged certain lands from Alexander Laing, in January, 1698, and recorded an abbreviate of his adjudication in March thereafter ; Fothringham of Powrie, in October, 1698, executed a summons of reduction and improbation, wherein he called the said Laing, but not the adjudger; and having obtained a decreet of certification in absence, he thereafter disponed the lands.
In a competition betwixt Radairny and a singular successor of Powrie, the Lords found, That though neither infeftment nor a charge against the superior had followed on the adjudication, yet the decreet of certification could not strike against it; in respect the adjudication was prior to the citation in the improbation.
Act.— Alt. Alex. Hay. Lord Cullen, Reporter. Mackenzie, Clerk. page 10.
