An executor-testamentar takes another assignee to a certain debt owing to the defunct. The assignee pursues the assignee's debtor, and refers the verity to the defender's oath. The defender refers the same back again to the pursuer's oath, who being but assignee, gave oath, according to his knowledge, the debt was true; which the Lords would not allow; but ordained the defender's oath to be taken.

Auchinleck, MS. p. 143.
