John Hay
v.
William Borthwick
1687 .November .Click here to view a pdf copy of this documet : PDF Copy
A bond, without an onerous cause, sustained as a good title in reduction upon the Act of Parliament 1621; and the pursuer, being an assignee, though not a conjunct person to the cedent, was ordained to condescend upon the onerous cause of his assignation, ad hunc effectum, to get the cedent's oath, if the cause was not adequate;—reserving to the Lords what instructions to require. And yet the onerous cause of rights, to elide the Act of Parliament, is probable by oath of the possessor, without condescending.
