Philiphaugh reported Maxwell of Munsches against Maxwell of Barnbachel. It was a reduction of a decreet on this nullity,—that I am decerned, on the passive title, as lawfully charged to enter heir, and yet the decreet does not bear the production of any general charge or executions thereof.

Answered,—You took a day to produce a renunciation to enter heir, (which acknowledged the charge,) and suffered the term to be circumduced against you for not doing it; and so cannot object this nullity now, you having acquiesced.

Replied,—The offering a renunciation appears now to have been a mistake; for, if I had known there was no general charge, I would never have taken a day to renounce; and it is as essential a nullity as if one pursued on a bond and the same were not produced; as was found lately betwixt Mr David French and David Dewar.

The Lords here refused to repone against this decreet; and found it abundantly supplied by their offering a renunciation; especially seeing the charge and executions are now produced to fortify the decreet.
