Couts having obtained decreet before the Magistrates of Aberdeen against Logan, he suspends on compensation, alleging, though the decreet bears compensation, it bears no mandate, and that the suspender was out of the country at that time.

The Lords found, That the compensation was not relevant post sententiam, though the decreet had been in absence, unless the decreet were annulled by improbation of the executions, or otherwise, in respect the act of Parliament anent compensation allows the same only ante sententiam, and not thereafter.
