A decreet being given, after letters conform, to a pension granted by the Duke to the Earl, of silver, to be paid out of the lordship of St. Andrew's, against the granter, and the chamberlains of that lordship; after the which decreet, the Duke, granter thereof, and against whom the sentence was given, being deceased, and the present chamberlain to this new Duke of Lennox being charged to pay the pension for the years owing since that sentence,—the Lords found that no charges could be granted against this Duke, while letters conform were first transferred in him; for this being a pension from a laik, it ought not to be respected as a pension flowing from an ecclesiastical person.
Act. Stuart. Alt. Burnet. Hay, Clerk. Vid. 20th January 1627, Weyms against Duke of Lennox.
