In a competition betwixt two base infeftments confirmed, the one craves preference to the other, because, though both their signatures were presented and past in one day, yet his was sealed three or four days before the other. This was taken to interlocutor by Castlehill. But I think the date of the passing the signatures is the rule of preference, or the coming in pari passu; and not the appending the seal, though it should be delayed for several months.
