Masson pursuing a declarator of escheat, it was answered, That all parties having interest were not cited at the market-cross, conform to the warrant of the letters.—It was answered, That was but stilus curiæ, long in desuetude, and it is enough that the rebel is cited, and none would be prejudged who were not cited; and any may compear that please for their interest.
The Lords repelled the defense, and forefault the amand given thereupon, as being contrary to the common custom.
