In a reduction of a decreet, recovered before the Town of Stirling, by Laurie contra Keir, whereby Keir was decerned to subscribe a contract, conform to a verbal paction, whereby Laurie set to him some acres of land for seven years, for payment of the duty convened on, and according whereto Keir had possessed the lands a year, the reason of reduction was, because it was found proved by witnesses, albeit such pactions could not be proved but by writ or oath of party; which reason was found relevant, and the reducer's oath ordained to be taken, and the decreet reduced; albeit also the party reducer was holden as confessed by his oath de calumnia in that process, and the decreet bore the same.
