A party's subscription being referred to his oath, whether he can adject the quality that his obligation is conditional, when the deed bears it to be pure ? Where the terms of agreement are referred to oath, whether the quality of the endurance of the agreement, being for a limited time, is intrinsic or extrinsic?

Two brothers having agreed, by a written contract, to implement a deed of their father's, notwithstanding any nullities or informalities therein contained; the heirs of the one brother, who died, pursuing the other for implement, put it to his oath, whether he had not signed such contract?. He deponed affirmative; but adjected, that it was under a condition not contained in the contract, that the brothers should make mutual tailzies in each other's favour; under which condition he offered to implement the agreement. The Lords, found the quality adjected was extrinsic.
