George Brown being bound, by his ticket, to pay to James Kirk the sum of £18 Sterling, and, in case of failure at the day, £50 Sterling; upon which ticket and failyie he recovers decreet before the bailies of Edinburgh against the said George Brown for null defence and not-compearance;—there is suspension and reduction raised of the decreet, upon this reason,—That the same was for null defence; and that, if he had compeared, he would have alleged, that the ticket was null quoad the £50 sterling of failyie, the same having been extorted from him metu carceris; and that he was instantly content to pay the £18 sterling and expenses, according to the Lords' modification. The Lords, in respect of the decreet recovered before the bailies, and of the suspender's own deed, by granting the foresaid ticket, albeit done for eschewing warding,—would not take away the decreet and bond.
