In an incident pursued by Ross against Young, at the third term he desired letters to summon some witnesses out of the country, upon sixty days. Alleged, He having summoned some witnesses out of the country at the first term, upon the sixty days, he ought not now to have the like; but he should then have condescended upon all his witnesses that were out of the country. Replied, He offered to make faith that they were necessary witnesses, and cannot be prejudged. The Lords would not grant it, for by that means diligence should run out to an infinite time.
