John Cuninghame of Enterkine v The Hon Katherine Hamilton, Relict of Wm Cuninghame of Enterkine, The ‘S Mother: HL 8 Jun 1717

Tenor – The tenor of a lost deed of remuneration to a wife over certain lands, for part of her jointure secured upon other lands renounced by her, found to be proved by an instrument of sasine; a deed in which the remuneratory deed was recited, and a slender proof by witnesses:
It was not necessary to prove the casus amissionis in this case:
The defender having claimed a proof that his mother, the pursuer, in his minority, had intromission with all his father’s deeds and writings, the same is refused.
