John Tenant granted a voluntary deed of interdiction to Robert Spreul, his sister's son, who was also writer thereof; and thereafter made a revocable settlement of his estate, failing heirs of his own body, to this Robert Spreul, interdicter.—In a reduction of that disposition, at the instance of the disposer's younger sisters, after his death, the Lords found, that Spreul being the writer of the interdiction, and keeping it in his custody, could not accept of the disposition in question; although it was pleaded, That the interdiction was never published, and, therefore, an unfinished deed, without any effect.—See Appendix.
