In the suspension of a decreet obtained by Mr George Honyman, March 20. 1712, before the Stewart-depute of the Regality of St Andrews, against Anna Oliphant and her Husband, without a dispensation, the Lords found the decreet null, because inferior courts regulariter must have a dispensation to sit in the vacation time; and the act of sederunt, July 21, 1696, doth not import a general dispensation to all inferior courts to sit till the 20th March inclusive, but only that by a dispensation, they may sit till then, and no longer.
