Bedlormy having entered into a contract with several persons as nearest of kin of a defunct, whereby for L, 100 to be paid by such of them as should be found executors he renounced his own claim of being nearest of kin; and that contract being not signed by one of those persons nearest of kin, they thought Bedlormy had a locus pœnitentiæ, and of consequence of that found the other nearest of kin not bound; and, separatim before answer to the qualification of fraud, ordained Bedlormy to condescend on his relation to the defunct such as may justify his claiming to be nearest of kin.
