An inhibition executed at Musselburgh, the head-burgh of the regality where the lands lay, and at the market-cross of Edinburgh, as use is, being quarrelled, for that the execution bore copies to be left at the said burgh of Edinburgh, without mention of Musselburgh;
It was alleged for the defender; That it was but a mere omission; and it was offered to be proved by the messenger and witnesses, that, de facto, a copy was left at Musselburgh.
The Lords found the execution null, and would not supply that defect, it not being so in the register.
