It was agreed that a bill, blank in the creditor's name at the time of delivery, fell under the act of Parliament 1696, concerning blank writs. But where, in a reduction of a bill, upon that ground, the fact was referred to the defender's oath, who deposed that the bill was put in his hand, blank in the drawer's name, as a fund of credit for procuring the loan of the sum; and that, within two days, he himself made up the sum, which he delivered to the acceptor; and, at that time, subscribed his name as drawer; the bill was sustained; the plurality of the Lords being of opinion, that it was not to be considered as a delivered evident till the money was advanced.
