Alexander Chaplain, Writer to the Signet, pursues a general declarator of umquhile Joseph Marjoribanks's escheat, (to which he was made donatar,) against Brown his relict, and John Marjoribanks his brother.
Alleged,—The denunciation was unwarrantable, being after a bill of suspension presented and intimated. Answered,—The stop of execution was taken off.
This, after a hearing in presence, was repelled, and declarator granted; reserving reduction of the said denunciation as accords of the law.
