One Hume, son to George Hume of Eccles, pursues the Laird of Blackader, to make count and reckoning of the estate, intrusted to him by his umquhile father, for defraying of his debts, that he might advise therewith, and consider if he should enter heir to his umquhile father or not, who alleging, That this process for count and reckoning, ought not to be sustained at the instance of an apparent heir, being only proper to one served heir, and that it was a novelty to sustain it otherways, the Lords repelled the allegeance, and sustained process at the apparent heir's instance, for the effect foresaid.
