The Earl of Winton gave in a bill, craving Mr Patrick Cunningham, agent, might be examined on the declarator of trust of a tack of prorogation of George Young's teinds in Winchburgh, in respect he was on death-bed.
The Lords recommended to my Lord Edmonston to go to his house, and take this oath; but he died before his examination.
Winton, by another bill, craved one Robert Seton, in Tranent, to be examined upon the tenor of a lost bond, whereon there was an action depending, to the effect it might lie in retentis, ad futuram rei memoriam.
The Lords likewise granted the desire of this petition; and appointed ——to take his oath of knowledge in relation to that bond, in the vacance.
