The tutor being charged upon a bond granted to the said George for £300
of bygone pensions, due to him by the Laird of Grant, did suspend, upon this reason:—That the bond was affected with a condition, That, in case he should offer a discharge of the pension to Grant's curators, and in case of refusal to return the same before a certain day, he should be liberated; and accordingly subsumed, that, within a month after the day, he did return the same; and gave that reason, That the charger had no written pension of the Laird of Grant; without which the curators could not allow the same. The Lords, notwithstanding, found the letters orderly proceeded for the principal sum; seeing he did not instruct any diligence, that he had offered the same to the curators debito tempore; and that Grant himself, by a letter, did acknowledge the service; and that the pension had been paid by his father many years; and that the service and employment had been continued: but they suspended for the annualrent, in respect the tutor could get no relief of Grant and his curators.
