A seasine given by umquhile Patrick Glasfoord, clerk of the stewartry of Fife, anno 1629 (or 1589,) to the Lady Monquhany, whereon she having instituted action for the maills and duties of her conjunct fee-lands, contained in her seasine;—it was alleged by Mr James Weems, That the seasine was null, because the notary's subscription bare only “Ita est,—Patricius Glasfurd, notarius,” and wanted the ordinary form, “Et ego vero.” To the which it was replied, That the wanting of the solemnity made not the seasine null; seeing the man was a famous and public notary, and the seasine was extant in his protocol, which they promised to produce. In respect of the which reply, the Lords sustained the seasine.
