In Edgar's improbation, against Carnegie of Balnamoon, they found the maxim, Nunquam concluditur in causa falsi, was in favours of the defender, and not the pursuer; and that, having abidden simply by the writ, he needed not condescend quo modo he came by it. And they refused to reexamine the witnesses who had already deponed; but permitted him to adduce such as had not been already examined, providing it did not hinder the advising of the cause.
