In an exhibition at the instance of Mrs Broomley, against the relict of Sir Alexander Frazer, of all deeds made by him wherein any clause was conceived in favours of the pursuer,
Alleged for the defender; That she not being a Scotswoman, but living in England animo remanendi, was not liable to answer any pursuit here, having only a personal conclusion against her.
Answered; The defender is liable to the Scots jurisdiction, in respect she has a jointure in Scotland, against which there might be execution for damage and interest, in case she did not exhibit.
The Lords considering this was a new case, delayed to determine it; but they inclined to assoilzie the defender.
