A confirmation in the Commissary Court was found no sufficient evidence of the death of persons said to have died, one in the East Indies, and the other in the West Indies, because no proof is required in these Courts as there is in all services, at least of habit and repute; but any person is confirmed periculo petentis; and therefore we adhered to Kilkerran's interlocutor finding that the pursuer must bring further proof of their death.
