A creditor of the Lord Napier having pursued the debtor's heirs of tailzie, the defenders alleged, No process, till Mrs Brisbane, the heir of line, was called.
Answered; The pursuer was content to call the heir of line cum processu.
Replied; The heir of line being known to the pursuers, and the principal contradictor, should have been cited ab initio; and it is not enough to call her cum processu.
The Lords found no process; and remitted the pursuer to raise a new process, and to call the heir of line.
Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 301. Harcarse, (Aires Gestio and Passive Titles.) No 69. p. 13.
