In a declarator of escheat of Archibald Walker, at the instance of Thomas Lyming, donatar thereto, the Lords sustained process upon the gift, albeit it was sealed after the execution of the summons; seeing he produced an instrument, requiring the keepers of the Privy Seal to seal the same debito tempore, before the summons; which, for their absence, not being done, they found the instrument supplied it.

Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 346. Durie, p. 310.
