In a sasine, produced in the case of Captain Livingston against Lord Napier, Alexander Livingston appeared as bailie, and John Bryce as procurator for James Livingstone. But, in the clause of delivery, infeftment was given, not to John Bryce, but to John Burn. Answered,—That this was a mere mistake in transcribing the name of the attorney, and was corrected and brought to a certainty in other parts of the sasine. Accordingly, the Lords sustained the sasine, and, on an appeal, the decree was affirmed.
