George Mitchelson in Dalkeith having charged Mr Robert Mitchelson, his son, on his bond, for payment of three hundred merks of annuity; and he having suspended on sundry reasons,—the Lords looked on the son as very ungrate, the father having denuded himself of his all to him, save this aliment; and, upon Lord Forret's report, repelled the whole reasons quoad the annuity; but suspended the charge quoad the termly failyies and penalty of the bond, and as to seventy-seven pounds Scots acknowledged by the charger's oath to have been received by him; and assoilyie from the suspender's reduction. And find the letters orderly proceeded for the rest of the bygone annuities, and in time coming, the term being first come and bygone; but ordained the father, charger, upon payment made to him, to consent to the loosing of the arrestments laid on by him on his son's maills and duties. And modify an hundred merks Scots as damages sustained by the father, by the son's suffering the father to be distressed and imprisoned for these debts, for which he had granted back-bond to relieve his father, and obliged himself to pay them.
