In the action at David Murray his instance against Sir James Hay of Smithfeild, upon a decreet-arbitral given at London,—it was excepted, That although the blank was subscribed by the parties, and by the judges after the filling up, yet the submission was never subscribed by the parties, but only accepted by the judges. Whereto it was replied, That, seeing the thing controverted was in the submission condescended, the parties needed not to subscribe but the blank wherein the decreet was to be filled up; which being done, all stands good, as if one would subscribe a blank to another. Wherefore, the Lords sustained the said action.
