1686 .February .Click here to view a pdf copy of this documet : PDF Copy
In the improbation of a tack, at the instance of Lamingtoun against James Oswald, the defender produced a registrate extract in the year 1632, and contended, That, after so long a time, he could not be obliged to produce the principal,—especially the pursuer and his authors having homologated the same by their constant payment of the tack-duty. Answered, The tack is not quarrelled as to the verity of it, or the quantity of the tack-duty; but as to the endurance, in respect the extract contains more years than the principal. The Lords stopped certification till the registers might be searched; and inclined to sustain the tenor proven, in case it were not found.
