Madam Broomlay against Sir Peter Fraser; (7th February 1682.) The Lords, on Newton's report, find him personally liable, unless he will renounce to be heir; though he be a minor only of sixteen years, and at the grammar schools: but in regard it is not yet fully year and day since his father died, they allow him any time within the year, to give in his renunciation.
Whereas he should not have been pursued till year and day was past. The specialty was:—he was infeft in fee by his father in his own lifetime, which he did not offer to renounce. See the contrary of this, both in Haddington and Dury, at the 25th June 1624, Somerville.
