In a Competition of creditors upon a defunct's executry, one having no document for his claim, but an account ingrossed by the debtor in his count-book, the Lords thought it hard to bring him in pari passu with others who had more formal documents, but declared, that if he could prove the delivery
of the particulars mentioned in the account, and give his oath in supplement, they would bring him in equal with others. *** This case is No 4. p. 2428., voce Collusion.
