The Lords having in the end of December, found that the nullity of an execution produced, (that it was not signed by the witnesses,) was not suppliable by their signing after it was produced in judgment; the Lords adhered, with the addition of the word ‘now;’ for Lord Arniston thought in general that such a nullity might be supplied; but because it was not supplied till after the year of the defender's magistracy was expired, he thought it not now suppliable; 2do, Adhered also in sustaining the nullity, that the execution at the defender's dwelling places, did not mention, that copies were left with any of the family; and, 3tio, That Bringles, one of the Councillors, was not called.
