Mr Bruce gave a commission to Mrs Maxwell to purchase for him, at a sale, the lands of Leckie-Bank. She purchased them, and entered into a minute of sale in her own name.
Mr Maxwell, assignee of Bruce, brought an action against her to denude : she denied the trust. A proof was allowed, by which the trust having been proved, her heirs (for she died during the dependance,) were decerned to denude, and found liable in expenses.
