Extract of a bond made in Bourdeaux, subscribed only by the Tabellion, which bears, that a party subscribed a bond insert in his register, is sustained by the Lords to furnish action, because it was known to the Lords that it was the custom of that part to make the bond after that form;—and because the bond bore damage and interest, the Lords modified and restricted the interest and damage to the annualrent of 10 for each hundred, so long as the principal sum was unpaid.
