The Lords found, that a decreet given by the D an of Guild of Edinburgh, decerning Gilbert Waddell to deliver 17 pooks of —— to John Orr upon his own confession, was null, unless the debt were otherwise verified nor by the confession contained in the decreet, because it was not subscribed by the party, who could write.
