A bill was drawn, payable to the drawer, who was named in the body of the bill, but he did not subscribe it, only there was a blank indorsation by him upon the back.

The President was of opinion that the bill, as wanting the subscription of the drawer, was altogether informal, and therefore no bill or literarum obligatio; but the rest of the Lords thought that this want was supplied by the subscription on the back, which showed that the drawer accepted of the offer of the money by the debtor in the bill, which completed the mutual contract.
