The Laird of Leys is pursued, as cautioner for umquhile Andrew Crawfoord of Beadland, by Anna Stewart, daughter to James Stewart of Flook, for payment to her of 1000 merks, by virtue of a bond made to umquhile James, her father, and, failyieing of him by decease, to the said Anna, his daughter, in anno 1620. It is alleged by the cautioner, That this sum must be pursued by the defunct his executors, as pertaining to them, and not to the said Anna, as substitute, because the said umquhile James lived long after the term of payment contained in the said bond. Which many of the Lords thought relevant, notwithstanding of the former decision betwixt Murkland and Thomson; but there was no interlocutor decided in this last.
