Date: Stewart
v.
Bisset
5 February 1765 Click here to view a pdf copy of this documet : PDF Copy
Found that a bargain of land was not concluded by missive letters, because the missive of the seller was not holograph, though the letter of the buyer was holograph, and there was afterwards a letter from the seller, holograph, agreeing to stand to the bargain, upon condition of an additional price, and subsequent to that letter there were letters from the buyer, likewise holograph, agreeing to give that additional price. What the Lords went upon, seemed to be, that there was still locus pænitentiæ in a bargain of lands till a formal deed was extended.
