In the report betwixt Mortoune and Sir James Dowglas, the Lords would not have Mortoune to count with the said Sir James for the relief of the burdens of Kilspindie's debt, since the Earl of Mortoune, by the posterior contract, had granted the receipt of £4000, and obliged him to refund and repay the same
to him, notwithstanding of an idle reservation cast in the end of the decreet of redemption, without warrant of the contract foresaid, not bearing any such obligement. Page 112.
