Part of Document Signed "W Scott", as one of the Principle Clerks of the Court of Sessions.

Two pages, c.17 x 14cm, paper trimmed with loss of text, staining making it difficult ro read some of text, text in another hand unless Scott's legal hand differed from his novelist's (see image on my website). Text of recto: "appears to be justly due at the date of the sequestration with all the expenses thereon And I the said George Brown Bind and Oblige myself and my foresaid to free and relieve the said James Orr and his foresaid of the cautionary Obligation above written and of all loss damages and expenses which he may incur or sustain in consequence thereof. And we consent to the Registration here [final line affected by trimming]". Verso: and seventeen yeras before those witnesses ... Principle Clerks of said Court". See scan on website for text and signature. Another hand has added "(Sir Walter Scott)" at the bottom of the verso.
