In the case of Homer Maxwell of Kilbain against the Earl of Nithsdale's tenants, the Lords sustained a sasine, the attestation whereof was only the contracted subscription which a notary used to put to any other inferior kind of instrument, such as the intimation of an assignation, or the like; viz. ita esse attestor signo et subscriptione his meis manualibus.
In another cause, they found a sasine valid, though it was registrated with the notary's name blank, et ego vero notarius publicus; because the party condescended on him, and so filled it up ex intervallo, and abode at the truth of it.
