The question was, Whether promissory-notes granted in Ireland which were already found valid though not holograph are probative of their dates so as to affect heritage in Scotland, notwithstanding the law of death-bed, notwithstanding it would not affect heirs in Ireland. Arniston thought that it would overturn the law of death-bed, and 2dly, that in England they have no regard to deeds in Scotland for affecting their estates without seal;—and the Lords by majority found they do not prove their date against the heir.—Renit. President, Kilkerran, Balmerino, Murkle, et me.—22d June 1744 Adhered, when I did not vote.
