I think the missing word is written ----

'pretending to have Interest in the matter under writen'.

It rambles on a lot Kevin, but the gist is that John Little is confirmed as only executor, with 'full power'  to deal with the will.

6 lines from the end, 'Archibald Little merchant in Langholm' is given as 'cautioner'
