A Deceeet-Abbiteal being pronounced between these parties determining former difficulties, and decerning L.5 sterling to be paid, which was said to be passed from verbally
on payment of some small expenses; the question was, Whether it could be passed from without writ, or if there was locus pornitentia? Ratio dubitandi, that this was pactum liberato-rium. The Ordinary found it could not be passed from verbally, and we adhered. I thought, that were there no more in it than passing from the L.5 decerned, it might be passed from, but then such verbal paction could not rear up the fornter claim.
