The Lady Innes charged James Innes for payment of a sum of money. He suspended upon this reason, that the bond was null in so far as the writer's name was not designed. The charger, having condescended upon the writer, the suspender offered to improve the bond, in so far as the man condescended was the writer thereof. Yet the Lords would not suffer him to improve it by way of exception, but reserved his action of improbation as accorded of the law.
