In the case betwixt Lady Carlips and the Laird of Posso, it was found, that as an apparent heir, by the late act of Parliament, cannot buy an apprising of his father's estate, without being made liable to his father's debts, so the Lords did extend this statute to apparent heirs who buy comprisings against their father's estate even while their father is in life. Which was well decided; because it is presumed to be bought with the father's means.
