In an action of declarator of bastardy, James Hirpet contra Gabriel Scot, The Lords found no necessity to summon the nearest of kin, but let them compear for their interest; and, in this same case, they found an exception of tutrix, habitus et reputatus lawful, relevant, in respect Gabriel Scot, who was alleged bastard, died being 50 years of age; and found no necessity to allege, that his father and mother were married after so long a time.
