A marginal note upon a back-bond, dated in the year 1679, signed by the granter, but no mention made either of the writer of said margin, or of witnesses to it, was notwithstanding found good against the user of the deed.
The Lords had formerly found the marginal note null; but that judgment being reversed on an appeal, this judgment was now given in compliance with the order of the House of Peers.
