A certificate signed by a minister, bearing, that the testator left a particular legacy, above 100 Scots, to a person named in the certificate, found a sufficient evidence of the legacy, though not signed by the testator, nor by the minister in his name, but only as a certificate of a fact, drawn out in the shape of a notorial instrument; and this, notwithstanding the testator had formerly made his testament, without mention of any such legacy.
