In a competition between the Relict of John Inglis of Elvingston and Mr James Eleis of Stanhopmilnes, for the gift of the said Elvingston's escheat, the Lords of Exchequer preferred the said Relict to the gift, qua creditrix on her contract of marriage; notwithstanding Stanhopmilnes sought it on his own horning, and was the first discoverer of the casualty to the King's Exchequer; because he seemed to be sufficiently secured for his debt aliunde, by an infeftment; and he did not offer to renounce his infeftment.
