A donatar to a bastard's gift of single escheat, pursuing for payment of a sum owing to the bastard by heritable band; the Lords found this heritable bond fell under the gift of single escheat, and that it needed not to be conferred by presentation, there being no sasine, nor by no other manner of gift. Item, a bond of L. 100 subscribed by one notary only, was sustained, because it exceeded not that sum; and the Lords interpreted matters of importance, which require two notaries, to exceed that sum, and not those which extend thereto, and no more.
Clerk, Scot.
