Last piece of Court of Session document
« on: Friday 23 February 18 07:37 GMT (UK) »
This is the last bit I can’t make out in this Court of Session document from 1791.
It is written on the front of the document - along with various other bits and pieces.

“I clerk to the Doer
for the charger consent
to this Be ??ing
passed on ??
??tion”


“Clerk to the Doer” seems to occur later in the document too.
Anyone know if this is correct? and what it means?

Any help with the other words gratefully received!

Suggestion ...

...consent
to this Bill being
passed on suff(icien)t
Caution


(Or it could be Bills being ...)

Sounds good Bookbox.
Many thanks.
I was trying to make that that 'Billbeing' as all one word!  :-\
Never thought of it being two.

I think there's only one 'Bill' involved in the document.

A "doer" is an agent acting for someone.

Thanks GR2.
Is that a particularly Scottish term?

I don't think it's exclusively a Scottish usage.

Caution (cayshon) is when a cautioner (third party) promises to pay a sum of money for another if he defaults.
