action_n at_o the_o laird_n of_o garthlands_n instance_n contra_fw-la sir_n james_n ker_n upon_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n do_v refuse_v to_o reduce_v a_o infeftment_n albeit_o a_o mere_a

to_o have_v access_n to_o the_o comprise_v land_n by_o assignation_n in_o manner_n foresaid_a during_o the_o legal_a but_o they_o likewise_o declare_v that_o if_o the_o lady_n redeem_v not_o within_o

thereafter_o insolvent_a yet_o this_o hold_v not_o in_o many_o case_n in_o our_o law_n for_o we_o find_v that_o disposition_n of_o less_o than_o the_o half_a of_o ward-land_n without_o consent_n of_o

the_o rubric_n of_o our_o statute_n may_v found_v a_o presumptive_a argument_n for_o explicate_v the_o text_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o authoritative_a for_o the_o rubric_n be_v not_o read_v in_o

from_o the_o first_o word_n and_o thus_o the_o old_a book_n of_o our_o law_n be_v call_v regiam_fw-la majestatem_fw-la because_o they_o begin_v so_o his_o majesty_n at_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o the_o college_n of_o justice_n do_v allow_v the_o lord_n of_o session_n to_o conclude_v upon_o sick_a rule_n statute_n and_o ordinance_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v by_o they_o expedient_a to_o

that_o act_n and_o by_o the_o power_n as_o here_o repeat_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n have_v only_a power_n to_o make_v order_n relate_v to_o the_o regulation_n of_o their_o own_o house_n and_o to_o the_o form_n of_o process_n for_o this_o be_v indeed_o necessary_a for_o explication_n of_o their_o jurisdiction_n and_o possible_o be_v employ_v in_o their_o very_a constitution_n without_o any_o express_a warrant_n arg_v l_o 2._o ff_n de_fw-fr jurisdict_n but_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o general_a power_n can_v authorise_v they_o to_o make_v statute_n and_o act_n relate_v to_o the_o material_a distribution_n of_o justice_n such_o as_o that_o all_o writ_n shall_v be_v null_a except_o subscribe_v before_o witness_n though_o they_o may_v have_v ordain_v that_o paper_n under_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o own_o clerk_n shall_v be_v so_o subscribe_v for_o if_o they_o can_v make_v statute_n as_o to_o any_o thing_n else_o beside_o the_o form_n of_o their_o own_o house_n there_o need_v no_o parliament_n for_o their_o statute_n may_v bind_v all_o the_o people_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o by_o this_o argument_n the_o lord_n of_o session_n can_v not_o have_v make_v this_o law_n declare_v contract_n among_o the_o liege_n to_o be_v null_a that_o touch_v upon_o one_o of_o the_o fundamental_o of_o humane_a society_n albeit_o they_o may_v have_v declare_v such_o a_o nullity_n receiveable_a by_o way_n of_o exception_n for_o that_o concern_v only_o form_n of_o process_n but_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o make_v this_o act_n do_v not_o introduce_v jus_o novum_fw-la a_o new_a law_n but_o only_o adapt_v to_o our_o practice_n the_o old_a roman_a or_o civil_a law_n which_o they_o may_v have_v follow_v in_o their_o decision_n without_o make_v any_o new_a
act_n of_o sederunt_fw-la as_o they_o do_v in_o most_o case_n where_o the_o civil_a law_n be_v found_v upon_o equity_n as_o here_o and_o where_o they_o be_v not_o determine_v by_o either_o our_o former_a practice_n or_o constitution_n and_o by_o the_o same_o principle_n both_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n and_o the_o parliament_n do_v in_o this_o statute_n declare_v that_o their_o say_a act_n shall_v extend_v to_o cause_n depend_v or_o to_o be_v intent_a whereas_o statue_n regular_o be_v extend_v only_o to_o future_a case_n except_o where_o the_o act_n declare_v what_o be_v law_n former_o as_o in_o this_o case_n we_o may_v then_o conclude_v these_o difference_n betwixt_o these_o act_n of_o sederunt_fw-la and_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o act_n of_o sederunt_fw-la can_v only_o be_v make_v concern_v the_o form_n of_o procedure_n or_o to_o fix_v a_o constant_a decision_n for_o the_o future_a in_o case_n which_o they_o may_v have_v so_o decide_v before_o their_o own_o act_n and_o it_o be_v their_o prudence_n and_o our_o happiness_n that_o they_o shall_v rather_o decide_v in_o hypothesi_fw-la then_o in_o thesi_fw-la but_o act_n of_o parliament_n shall_v main_o be_v make_v to_o regulat_fw-la new_a substantial_a ground_n of_o justice_n and_o commerce_n but_o though_o this_o power_n of_o make_v order_n for_o administration_n of_o justice_n be_v proper_o and_o principal_o their_o province_n yet_o they_o have_v in_o this_o but_o a_o cumulative_a jurisdiction_n with_o the_o parliament_n who_o may_v and_o do_v likewise_o make_v such_o order_n but_o the_o parliament_n ought_v to_o do_v so_o spare_o since_o form_n be_v better_o know_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n then_o to_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o power_n of_o make_v act_n relate_v to_o form_n or_o of_o regulate_v form_n already_o make_v belong_v particular_o to_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n both_o because_o of_o their_o constitution_n and_o experience_n the_o lord_n have_v be_v in_o use_n not_o only_o to_o regulat_fw-la their_o own_o court_n by_o act_n of_o sederunt_fw-la but_o they_o have_v by_o the_o same_o power_n prescribe_v regulation_n to_o other_o court_n and_o thus_o as_o to_o the_o justice_n court_n in_o anno_fw-la 1591._o year_n they_o make_v a_o act_n that_o woman_n and_o socii_fw-la criminis_fw-la may_v be_v receive_v witness_n in_o case_n of_o treason_n and_o we_o find_v that_o they_o have_v likewise_o regulate_v inferior_a court_n without_o any_o previous_a warrant_n as_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o 19_o act_n 23._o par._n ja._n 6._o where_o the_o parliament_n ratify_v a_o act_n of_o secret_a council_n and_o session_n which_o do_v ordain_v and_o command_v that_o no_o process_n shall_v be_v grant_v before_o inferior_a judge_n on_o the_o first_o summons_n but_o upon_o libel_v precept_n and_o citation_n of_o fifteen_o day_n warning_n and_o in_o anno_fw-la 1636._o they_o make_v a_o act_n of_o sederunt_fw-la appoint_v that_o no_o consent_n of_o any_o inferior_a court_n shall_v bind_v the_o consenter_n except_o it_o be_v subscribe_v by_o himself_o and_o that_o the_o assertion_n of_o the_o clerk_n of_o that_o court_n be_v not_o sufficient_a nor_o shall_v this_o extension_n of_o their_o power_n seem_v unwarrantable_a for_o since_o they_o may_v reduce_v the_o decreet_n of_o inferior_a court_n it_o seem_v most_o consequential_a that_o they_o may_v regulat_fw-la their_o procedure_n but_o though_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o session_n pass_v the_o bill_n before_o the_o justice_n and_o advocate_n cause_n from_o before_o that_o court_n it_o may_v seem_v strange_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o make_v act_n of_o sederunt_fw-la for_o regulate_v that_o court_n the_o jurisdiction_n civil_a and_o criminal_a be_v most_o distinct_a and_o different_a it_o may_v likeways_o seem_v both_o by_o the_o former_a act_n allow_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o session_n this_o power_n and_o the_o ratification_n of_o their_o statute_n specify_v in_o this_o act_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o all_o the_o act_n of_o sederunt_fw-la which_o relate_v not_o mere_o to_o the_o regulate_v their_o own_o form_n shall_v be_v ratify_v by_o the_o parliament_n though_o in_o the_o interim_n of_o parliament_n these_o act_n shall_v bind_v and_o yet_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la we_o see_v very_o many_o act_n of_o sederunt_fw-la to_o have_v full_a vigour_n and_o force_n without_o any_o such_o confirmation_n before_o i_o begin_v to_o explain_v the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n i_o shall_v offer_v this_o analysis_n of_o it_o either_o the_o creditor_n who_o be_v defraud_v be_v such_o creditor_n as_o have_v do_v no_o diligence_n or_o such_o as_o have_v do_v diligence_n if_o they_o be_v such_o as_o have_v not_o do_v

2._o if_o these_o disposition_n be_v make_v without_o a_o onerous_a cause_n then_o either_o they_o remain_v with_o the_o conjunct_a confident_a to_o who_o they_o be_v make_v or_o not_o if_o they_o remain_v with_o he_o they_o be_v reduceable_a either_o by_o way_n of_o exception_n or_o reply_v but_o if_o any_o three_o party_n no_o way_n partaker_n of_o the_o fraud_n have_v lawful_o purchase_v any_o of_o the_o bankrupt_n land_n for_o a_o just_a and_o true_a cause_n than_o the_o right_o be_v not_o quarrelable_n but_o the_o receiver_n be_v only_o liable_a to_o make_v the_o same_o forthcoming_a to_o the_o bankrupt_n true_a creditor_n 3._o the_o fraud_n be_v probable_a by_o writ_n or_o oath_n of_o the_o party_n receiver_n 4._o if_o the_o creditor_n have_v do_v diligence_n by_o

defraud_v that_o diligence_n in_o favour_n of_o another_o concreditor_n who_o have_v do_v no_o diligence_n or_o posterior_n diligence_n or_o in_o favour_n of_o any_o interpose_a person_n to_o their_o
