In an action of improbation, at the instance of the Lord Cathcart against the Laird of Carss and his other vassals;—the Lords found, that, in such improbations, the pursuer may call the defenders for production and improbation of retours, whereby they are served heirs to their predecessors in the lands controverted, and that they have sufficient interest to insist for production of such retours; because, if the pursuers may quarrel the same, and impugn them, and if they fail, so that there be no such retours, the lands may thereby be in non-entry, whereby the pursuer will have the right and benefit of the land by the non-entry.
