In a cause, M'Kenzie against M'Kenzie, the Lords found that a legacy could not be constituted by a bill. It had been so found by Lord Justice Clerk, Ordinary, 20th January 1776; and, this day, the Lords refused a reclaiming petition, without answers, and adhered: but with this quality, that they remitted to the Ordinary to hear parties if it was not good to the extent of £100 Scots; to which extent a nuncupative legacy would have been good. See 111 New Coll., No. 20, Wright against Wright, 9th December 1775.
