To a sasine taken in the year 1707, wrote bookways, it was objected, that the same was void and null, the witnesses having signed only the last page, contrary to the statute 1686. The Lords repelled the objection.
They did the same, 19th December 1776, in the same cause, though against another defender, Duke Hamilton,—(see interlocutor in this cause.)
They did the same also as to a sasine expede anno 1708, in the competition between Miss Hamilton and Hamilton of Dalziel, concerning the estate of Rosehall. In the case of Rosehall it was also objected that the notary's docquet did not express the number of pages of which the sasine consisted. The Lords repelled both this and the other objections.
