FORM and OVERTURE , FOR AN Additional ACT , anent Registrating Summonds , and Instruments of Interruption ,

FORASMUCH , as by the 19 Act of the last Session of this Current Parliament , all Summonds and Instruments of Interruption of Prescription , then Raised and Taken , were Ordained to be Recorded in a particular Register , to be appointed for that effect , and that within a Year after the date of the said Act , which was the ninth of October 1696. His Majestie with Advice and Consent of the Estates of Parliament , Does hereby Declare , That the said Years Space should not Run against Minors .

Arguments why Minors ought to have been Exceped in the said Act , the 9 of October 1696 , And therefore that the same ought now to be Rectified .

By the Act 81. Par. 6. JAM: 6. Minores are excepted that the three years within which Spulies should be pursued , should not run against them .

By the Act 9. Par. 2. Ses . 1. CHA: 2. Anent the Prescriptions of five Years , Ten Years , & Twenty Years Respective , in the Cases of Arriestments , House Maills , Bargains , Holograph Writes , Minors are Excepted , That none of these Prescriptions should Run against them .

By the Act 10. of the said Parliament 2d . Session 1 : K: Charles 2d , anent the Seven Years , within which Citations used by way of Interruption , should bs Renewed , Minors are Excepted .

Beside several Acts of Parliament more , as to the time appointed for pursueing Summonds of Error . Actions of Removing , and the time for Redeeming Apprysings , &c. In all of which Minors are excepted .

Item , Our Lawyers by their Writings testifie , That by Our Law Prescription should not Run against Minors . VIZ.

Locharts Index of the Acts of Parliament , Verbo Prescription .

Stair , His Institutes , Tittle Prescription , page 347 : N : 18.

Item , The Decision of the Lords , the 5 of July 1666 , against Wodsetters , anent the 13 years , within which by the Act of Parliament 1617 , Prescriptions then already Run , might be interrupted , Found , That the said 13 Years did not Run against Minors , Albeit no mention was made of them in the Act of Parliament .

In Respect whereof , And for preventing the Expensive Debate , that Minors may have in pleading . Why the Years time mentioned in the said Act of Parliament , for Recording Summonds of Interruption , should not militate against them ; It ought to be Rectified , by declairing Minors not lyable to the said Year : Or otherwise , allowing Minors yet a competent time for bringing in their Documents to be Reeorded ; In regaird of the Security , they might have thought themselves in by the Grounds in Law aforesaid : And specially that the said particular Office , to which by the Act of Parliament , Application should be made for getting their Documents recorded , was not established till near five Months after the date of the Act , whereby the Leidges were deprived of so much of the time allowed to them by Law ; And therefore highly reasonable that an Additional time , at least should be granted for inbringing their Writes to be Recorded .
