This was a charge, upon a decreet, for 3000 merks, bearing that it proceeded on Gosford's consent. He now denied the same, having never offered more at the communings than £100 sterling, and there was nothing under his hand to prove it; and it could not be made up ex reminiscentia judicis; and if he gave it this way, it must expose him to the pursuit of other creditors.
The Lords found the decreet null, for want of probation of his consent, the clerk's assertion not being sufficient for it; but recommended to Gosford to settle with him.
