John Sinclair pursues transferring of a bond against Livingstoune, son and heir to the deceased John Livingstoune of Kinaird, and referred the summons to the defender's oath, and summons him to give his oath at a certain day; at the which day it was alleged, That the defender is a pupil, and cannot be holden to give his oath. The pursuer resiles from his oath, and offers to prove his summons, prout de jure. It was alleged for the defender, That if the pursuer use any other probation nor oath of party, his summons ought to be continued. It is answered, That there is no necessity; seeing the second summons, whereby the defender was summoned to give his oath, supplies the continuation. The Lords found no necessity of continuation.
