A horning was quarrelled as null, because it bore the oyesses, (which in strict grammar construction signifies no more but two) whereas the law required three oyesses. ‘The Lords found it null for this defect.’ Vide 14th July 1680, the same decision in the case of an interdiction. The Lords reduced an interdiction, because the publication did not bear three oyesses given.
