A bill subscribed with initials, by an ignorant country woman, who could not read, nor ever had been in use to write, blank scores being drawn by another hand, which she was made fill up with a pen, was found null; it being pleaded, That this could not be called the person's ordinary subscription, which is what makes a writ effectual, nay, that it could not be called a subscription at all, not being a writing in any proper sense. (See Appendix.)

Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 523.
