In serving a brieve of heir-male in general, an offer was made to prove a nearer heir. The danger of delaying a service made the Court refuse the proof hoc statu, reserving it to be insisted upon in any process that should be raised upon the service as a title; for the delay of a service may disappoint a man and his heirs of the most lucrative succession.
