In an exhibition of certain evidents of lands, pursued by James Johnston, apparent heir to George and Mr Walter Whitford, against the Laird of Johnston;—Alleged, No exhibition at James his instance, as apparent heir to his father; because the defender was infeft in the same lands, whereof the evidents were sought to be exhibited, by disposition flowing from the said James. Replied, Mr Walter concurred in the pursuit, who had disposition of the said lands from James, whereupon he had served inhibition, and that before the said disposition made to the defender. Duplied, He had no interest, because he was not infeft. Triplied, He was seeking the evidents to the end he might be infeft. The Lords found the exception relevant.
