This was a question about the exhibition of papers in the hands of Mr Douglas's agent to prove his illegitimacy; and the Lords went so far as to ordain the agent to make a general exhibition of all letters and other papers in his hands, in which mention was made of Mr Douglas and his twin brother. But this was done upon the last day of the Session, and not much opposed by Mr Douglas.
