The Lords, in two several actions, viz. betwixt Watson and Lorimer, and betwixt Mr Thomas Forbes, advocate, and one Boyd, refused to receive in bills complaining upon acts as unwarrantably extracted; but referred them to a reduction thereof. See the act of Sederunt 1679.
Vol. I. Page111.
Anent Notaries and the Clerks of Session.
There was likewise an Act of Sederunt made anent Notaries; and a motion that the clerks of Session should all be admitted notaries: which was thought a disparagement, seeing they, in actibus officii, are more trusted and credited than notaries, and in extrajudicial matters they will not negotiate as notaries. This was moved to bring in some money to Laurance Oliphant, now clerk to the notaries, and to the register, his constituent.
