By act 30th, Parl. 1469, and act 78th, Parl. 1563, notaries must be named and created by the King, and examined and admitted by the Lords; but an abuse having crept in of applying to the Court of Session to be admitted notaries, without any authority from the Crown, this was rectified upon an application of the clerk to the admission of notaries; and in time coming the clerks of Session were discharged to receive in any petition for any person's trial in order to admission as a notary, unless there were presented therewith, and lodged in the clerk's hands, a presentation signed by the clerk to the admission of notaries, and past under his Majesty's cashet. See Appendix.

 Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 293.
