In an improbation James offered to abide qualificate that the bonds were truly delivered to him, and he offered to depone he knew nothing of the forgery; and that, in the case betwixt The Earl of Leven and the Laird of Lammerton, No 174. p. 6753., the Lords allowed the Laird to abide by the writs qualificate, as truly delivered to him, or found in his grandfather's chest. The Lords refused this. As also, this same day, in an improbation pursued by Aitchison and Harvy against Dr Keith's Children, the Lords ordained the tutor of the pupils to abide by a discharge produced simpliciter.
