The Lords reponed Robert Douglas against a decreet of the Justices of Peace, decerning him to pay to James M'Millan, as having right by assignation from the Lord Pitmedden, L. 8 Sterling, as the cedent's share of L. 100 Sterling, resting by Robert Douglas to the partners of the powder manufactory; albeit Mr Douglas had compeared in the court, proponed payment, and suffered the term to be circumduced against him for not proving, and not deponing upon the verity of the liblel referred to his oath; in respect the decreet was pronounced in a count and reckoning for so great a sum by Justices of Peace in vacation time, without a dispensation.
