The Lords resolved to lay aside all the objections of res judicata on either side, and first found that Charles Murray the son might adjudge, being nominatim substitute in the bond of corroboration, without serving heir to his father in that bond. Some of us inter quos ego doubted, because if the father had taken infeftment, we agreed that a service would have been necessary, and I could not see that the taking or not taking a sasine could alter the point of law, Whether it was necessary to make up a title or not?
