Fletcher of Benscho against Carnegy of Phineven. The Lords found, where there was a conjunct probation granted, any of the parties might renounce farther probation, but could not make avisandum with his own probation, till he had circumduced the term against the other; and if he had a running diligence by caption against witnesses, that the term could not be circumduced against him, unless he had restricted himself to a set number of witnesses, and had examined that number, as was alleged in this cause.
