A brief of service before the Bailies of Musselburgh, was sought to be advocated by Agnes Simpson, because Margaret Blackie was going to infeft herself as heir to her mother in a tenement, whereas her mother resigned it to her son, Agnes Simpson's umquhile husband, and he was infeft, and they had nothing to prove his sasine by, but an extract out of the notary's protocol, it not being registrated. The Lords refused to advocate, but minuted on the back of the bill, for direction to the inquest or Judge, that the said extract was sufficient to stop the service though not registrated, which the act of Parliament in 1617 requires only against third parties, but not against the party granted and his heirs.
