In the charge, at Pringle of Renniston's instance, against James Rait, merchant in Edinburgh, and his bill of suspension, reported by Crocerig, the Lords repelled this reason, That he offered to prove he entered all his goods at Kelso, and yet the transire he got did not contain the whole, whereby the goods, not mentioned, were seized by the waiters at Edinburgh; and the bond being for the custom of these goods, he ought to have deduction effeiring to his damage.
The Lords refused to pass the bill, and found it not probable by witnesses, but only by Renniston's oath or writ.
