The Lords, upon Saline's report, in respect of the oath of David Simpson in Dysart, acknowledging that the 500 merks were allowed to him in part payment of the price of the lands disponed to him by M'Ghie, and so not chargeable on Pittillo, and in respect of the discharge of 400 merks granted by M'Ghie, before the assignation made by him to Simpson, they reduce the decreet-arbitral as unjust; reserving to Simpson to insist against Pittillo, on any other grounds, as accords of the law.
Then Simpson offered to improve the discharge as false.
