In the suspension at Mr George Stratoune's instance against Thomas Thomsone, charging for 2000 merks upon a bond made to his wife and him, at the desire of umquhile James Stratoune, his father;—the reason, that it was for the tocher due to the said Thomas, and that he had discharged to the said umquhile James his contract of marriage, and all that he could crave, and so could not be charged upon the said bond, which was given for tocher;—this reason, I say, the Lords did not respect, because they thought that the said James could not be of so short memory but he knew of the discharge: and yet, being to provide his bairns, thought that of conscience he ought to provide likewise payment of this 2000 merks, instead of the tocher discharged without payment made; or he would not have urged his son to give such a bond, and so burdened him, if he had not thought it due.
