A case occurred, in which it was objected, That the claim had not specified the year of registration. The claim run thus, “Which charter bears date the 5th day of July 1794, and is written to the seal, and registered, and sealed the 9th day of September 1794; 2do, Instrument of sasine thereon, dated the 23d of September, and recorded in the particular register of sasines kept at Dundee, for the shire of Forfar, the 24th of said month.” But it being answered, That the ‘said month’ clearly referred to the year last specified, especially as no other month of September had occurred betwixt the date of the charter and the sasine founded on, and the lodging of the claim, the Court repelled the objection.
