Umquhile Kellie, clerk of Dumbar, his prothocoll was produced before the Lords to verify a transumpt of a seasine produced in an action betwixt Brown and Nisbet. In the which prothocoll, a great deal of the seasines were subscribed by the clerk: and many were not subscribed by him, but written with his servants' hand; amongst the which, the seasine quarrelled was one. Yet, because it was in the midst of the prothocoll book, and no suspicion of falset could be perceived, the transumpt was sustained, because it was offered also to be proven, by witnesses inserted in the seasine, that the same was truly given.
