It was questioned about this time, if I needed to have a previous decreet for constituting the debt against the heir, where I mind to lead an adjudication of his predecessor's lands, where the heir is already served and retoured, and has already acknowledged the debt. It was alleged, none of thir could be the ground of a summary charge against the heir, without a decreet. Yet the Lords leapt over this point of form, and sustained it as a sufficient ground of an adjudication, and ordained it to stand for a rule in all time coming.

Advocates' MS. No. 537, § 2, folio 273.
