1 In the College of Justice, a court erected in the time of King James. V., of Scotland, cir. 1537, the clerks or writers to the signet (practition- ers of law) were instituted as a part of said College, and were "in- trusted with the forms of summonses and diligences," and were "au- thorised to expede summonses which had not the accustomed brieves of the Chancery, wherein their styles by custom came to be known; and they are every year publicly called, and commanded, to keep the accustomed styles, and are censurable if they do it not, the matter and order being always the same, though they be not tied to partic- ular words, as they are tied in the brieves of the Chancery." By act of 1661 this Court was vested with exclusive jurisdiction "in discussing the validity or invalidity of infeftments of his Majesty's property, or any other infeftments," in consequence of which the clerks or writers. to the signet, being practitioners in this Court, came to enjoy peculiar privileges in suits relating to real property .- Stair's Institutions of: the Law of Scotland, Edinburgh, 1832, II., 544, 548, 573, 581.
