In a suspension raised by Carnoussie, the Lords found a bond of five hundred merks unlawful, which Auchanachie had taken from Carnoussie for his furtherance of the block of Pittindreich, pertaining to Auchanachie's sister's son, who was interdicted to him; because an interdictor should take no profit for any block of land pertaining to the man interdicted to him. And albeit the bond did bear borrowed money, yet Auchanachie was made to swear the true cause, which being confessed as said is, the letters were suspended simpliciter.
