A summons of adjudication being raised, at the instance of Hugh Wallace, cash-keeper, against several persons fined by the council, and the execution apart bearing Hugh Wallace, the pursuer, and relating to the summons;—it was alleged for the defenders, That, by the late act of Parliament, all summonses not designing the pursuer and defender, are null. Answered for the pursuer, The
pursuit is for the King's behoof, whom the negligence of his officers cannot prejudge. Replied, The King is denuded in favours of donatars.
