The Laird of Aikine being addebted to Thomas Adam, minor, 600 merks, moves the boy, without consent of his curators, to go to the wars, and make his testament, and leave the sum to him. In absence of the minor, the curators charge for the sum. The Laird of Aikine consigns, and alleges the boy to be dead, and so he has good cause of retention; and offers caution, if the boy be on life, to make payment. The curators allege that the boy is on life; and offer caution, in case the boy be dead, to make the sum forthcoming to all parties having interest. The Lords ordained the consigned money to be delivered to the curators, upon caution.
