Though some of the parties consenters in a contract be dead, yet if the principal parties, subscribers, be living, it may be registrate (notwithstanding the death of the others) as to their interest; yea, if a party contract nomine alieno et procuratorio, if he die, yet if the party live to whose use and behoof it was, he may registrate it, if his name be mentioned in it, and the other be called only his trustee. A clause in a contract in favours of a third party, though not subscribing, may be acclaimed by him, and execution sought thereon. See Durie, 1625.
