The Lords in this affair took summar trial, upon a bill of a forgery and circumvention, in hatching up a false execution of a charge of horning, because in a poor man's cause. 2do, They allowed to take a party's oath in an act of fraud, though the witnesses had proved nothing of it, and though two manners of probation are not consistent, nor is it usual to take a party's oath for proving a forgery, whereunto he has accession, or where he has used the false writ.

 Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 13. Fountainhall MS.
