A man being retoured to his predecessor in ward-lands, and his retour quarrelled by reduction, in respect of his minority and less age, qualified by many circumstances in the summons, the defender, in fortification of his retour, offering to prove his perfect age the time of his service, will be preferred. An error of an inquest in civilibus, since the erection of the College of Justice has been tried before the Lords, and proved by witnesses, and not referred to a great inquest.——A man's eldest son compearing in judgment in his father's cause, and proponing allegeances, will be reputed his procurator, albeit he produce no mandate.
