Isobel Ker pursues the parishioners of Morumside for the annat of her husband's stipend for the whole year in which he died, having died in April.—The defendes alleged no process till the annat were confirmed, because it would belong to the minister's executors, and be subject to his moveable debt.—It was answered, That the annat being due after the minister's death, was not in bonis defuncti, but was granted to his nearest friends ex gratia; and whatsoever might be alleged by creditors, it did require confirmation.
The Lords found no necessity of confirmation of the annat.
