SCRIPT

Where instruments are executed in part and counterpart, the original or principal is so called. In English probate practice. A will, codicil, draft of will or codicil, or written instructions for the same. If the will is destroyed, a copy or any paper embodying its contents becomes a script, even though not made under’ the direction of the testator. Browne, Prob. Pr. 280. Scripts obligationes scriptis tollun tnr, et audi consensus obligatio con trario consensu dissolvitur. Written obligations are superseded by writings, and an obligation of naked assent is dissolved by assent to the contrary.
