In the action at the instance of John Corsbie against George M'Lair, for the spuilzie of a caldron, the Lords sustained a tenant in a dwelling-house in Prestonpans belonging to the pursuer, as a habile witness for him; in respect our custom rejects only moveable tenants in lands, whereby they have their subsistence, from bearing witness for their masters, as supposed to be more under his influence, than tenants in dwelling-houses can be thought liable to the influence of their landlords.
Forbes, p. 628.
