In the competition betwixt Sandilands and Sandilands, it being alleged, That the pursuer's right was an assignation to a moveable bond upon death-bed, and so ought to be confirmed;—it was answered, That albeit an assignation was granted upon death-bed, yet it was granted admodum inter vivos, and intimated before the granter's death, who was thereby denuded; and that a moveable right, such as the bond assigned, was transmissible by an assignation and intimation upon death-bed.——The Lords found, That in this case, where the granter had neither wife nor children, who might pretend they were prejudged, that the assignation and intimation, albeit upon death-bed, did sufficiently denude and convey, without necessity of confirmation.
