Two persons of the name of Herd being accused of forgery, and particularly, inter alia, of forging the acceptance to a small bill by two other persons of the name of Officer; the Court would not receive these two persons as witnesses, though the complaint was only at Lord Advocate's instance, because they might gain or lose by the issue of the complaint, by getting free of the bill if it was proved, in which case it would be cancelled, or the defenders remitted to the Justiciary-Court.
