It was inquired, if a base seasine of ward lands, taken on a mandate or precept of seasine, given by a party when he is in lecto, can import recognition? Videtur quod non; because the warrant of the seasine is null in law, being on death-bed; and Craig, Feud. p. 344, tells of a decision, by which the Lords found a seasine, null for want of registration, could not infer recognition. Yet I think the Lords would not decide thus now. See M'Keinzie's Pleadings, p. 58. Vide infra, No. 590. [Grant against Mackenzie, 6th July, 1677.] Besides, neither want of registration, nor deeds in lecto, are such intrinsic nullities but they are valid till quarrelled.
