Found, That the apocha trium annorum inferred a sufficient discharge of all bygones, even where some of these bygones were constituted by writ. N. B. The writ here was not a bond for a liquid sum of money, but a note only, whereby the debtor became bound “to make just count, reckoning, and payment of his bygone feu and teind-duties, and of what he was resting thereof since his last discharge;” though it was pleaded, that this made no difference; because, if ever these bygones had been counted upon, the said note would have been given up to the debtor.
