Formerly, it was thought that advocation was incompetent after sentence, though before extract: but now it is fixed, See Erskine, 683, that advocation is competent after sentence, if before extract. But, in an advocation of a decree of a Baron Court, this rule cannot apply. In these cases, there can be no extract; a Baron Court is not a Court of record; See Bank., B. 4, tit. 16, § 2. Therefore, as to a Baron decreet, advocation is competent, until execution; for, as to execution, advocation is no remedy: the only remedy there, is by suspension. So argued, Petitioner, M'Leay, 10th August 1774.
