In the reduction on minority, at the instance of Janet Thomson against Stevinson, voce Minor No. 104. p. 8982;

The Lords ordained the pursuer's mother to be received witness of her age, cum nota, there being a testificate already produced, and there being 30 or 40 years since the pursuer's birth; after which time, it was not likely that others would remember; but she was ordained to depone who were witnesses at the birth and baptism, and these to be examined.

Stair, v. 1. p. 614.
