In John Couper's action against Janet Macgill; Newbyth found the executions of the charge to enter heir, and of the summons raised thereon, null, because they were executed before year and day was expired after her goodsire's death; and, though it was more than a year since her father's death, yet she being posthuma, and it not being a year since her birth, he found the annus deliberandi ran a tempore partus tantum, and not from her father's death.
