This James having been the Earl's chamberlain, and about a year ago having ended counts with my Lord, he was found my Lord's debtor in L. 10,000, for which he grants bond to the Earl; this bond is lost someway by sloth. The Earl by his commissioners, whom in his absence of the country he left to oversee his estate, intents an action for proving the tenor of the bond; and refers all to the defender's oath; both the bond, its contents, and that the same is not as yet paid.

This was found relevant, and a day was assigned to produce him to depone, and it was granted he should depone in presence of the witnesses in the bond.

Act. Seaton. Alt. Inglis. Advocates' MS. No. 76, folio 82.
