One offers to bide at a writ with this quality, that he found it among his father's papers, the Lords pro hac vice allowed this by proving the said quality, in which, if he had failed, they would punish him as a forger, at least accessory. But in regard of the difficulty of the probation, they declared they would consider that at the advising. The Lords repelled these two reasons, that there were four witnesses inserted, and only three subscribing; 2do, That the two notaries’ subscriptions were with different inks, since each of them might use their own ink.
