The Lords found it relevant to reduce a discharge subscribed by a woman, that it was offered to be proved it was presented to her when in her child-birth pains; which the Lords judged an unseasonable time, and that she was then quasi in lecto, et vix satis mentis compos to have the full exercise of her reasonable faculties; and allowed it to be proven by women witnesses, others not being allowed to be present in puerperio. See Witness.

 Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 421. Fountainhall, v. 1. p. 434.
