The Laird of Gadzeard in a libel pursued the young Sheriff of Ayr, for the spoliation of certain oxen, and for the harling and goring of certain kye, and for the demolishing and casting down of a mill. There being sundry heads in the summons, Gadzeard desired the Sheriff to give his oath de calumnia particularly upon every head of the libel. It was answered by the Sheriff, That he ought not to give his oath, but generally upon the whole summons; which was found by interlocutor of the Lords.
