A bill of L.29 sterling being indorsed by Taylor to Tudhope, which he acknowledged to be in security of L.17 sterling, Turnbull the debtor in the bill produced a bill by Taylor for the like sum, and alleged that the bill charged on had been originally blank in the drawer and creditor's name; viz. Taylor's aunt, from whom the money was borrowed for Taylor's use, and after her death filled up by Taylor, which he offered to prove by Taylor's oath; which we found not competent, notwithstanding the bill was payable twelve months after date, and though the same person was drawer and creditor, and though it was indorsed not for ready money, but in security of an old debt for a less sum. (See Dict. No. 39. p. 1437.)
