Scottish testament dative 1658

[khalliday181]

This is the end of the testament dative for John Halliday in Culmen. I assume this last section is the confirmation clause but what does it say?

You've already posted this part k, at the end of this post.

The heading is 'dead's part is'

GR2 is the expert of experts, and has done an amazing job with it.

You posted this in your previous post, so I have just copied and pasted my transcription from there.

Deads Pairt is -

William [      ] of Drumgarland Com[m]issar prin[cipa]ll of the
Com[m]issariott of du[m]fries vnderstanding [filler] I decerne
y[ai]rintill (= thereintill = in that matter) and gives & co[m]itts [filler] Reservand (=
                                                                            reserving/excepting) [          ]
[filler] and being sworne & made faith [filler] Q[uhai]rupoune (= whereupon}
[....................... blank .......................] Became cau[tione]r
as ane (= an) act made y[ai]ranent (= thereanent = on that matter) beares

This is very sketchily written, probably because the estate left was so small. They have not even given a total for the inventory (it amounts to £22 13/4d). There are several meaningless fillers, the executors are not named again where it refers to them being sworn and undertaking to carry out their duties faithfully. The name of the cautioner has also been omitted.

Thank you GR2. It seems that I was being a little disorganised!! What a numpty.
