Deed—Error—Partial Reduction—Declarator—Proof.

THIS action was raised by Matthew Waddell, farmer, Greenwells, in the parish of Old Monkland, with consent and concurrence of Rankin and Mitchell, writers in Airdrie, and by the said Rankin and Mitchell, against William Waddell, son of the said Matthew Waddell, and residing at Coatbridge, and also against Irabina Young or Gilbert, residing at Whiflat, and Henry Gilbert, residing at Glasgow,—for the purpose of establishing the right of the said Matthew Waddell to a bond and disposition in security for L.200, granted on 23d July 1859 by the defenders (Gilberts) in favour of the other defender William Waddell, on the ground that the bond had been taken through the mistake of the said Matthew Waddell's law-agents, the other pursuers, in name of the said William Waddell as grantee, instead of being taken in favour of the said Matthew Waddell, the pursuer, the true creditor, and had been so recorded in the Register of Sasines on 29th July 1859.
