Sir Alexander Bruce of Broomhall, pursuing a special declarator, of the single escheat of the late Earl of Kincairn:
It was Alleged,—A stock of money he had laid in the Royal Fishery Company, was not moveable to be carried by single escheat, because it was a jus fixum, rendering profit like a sum bearing annualrent, which falls not under the single escheat Yet the Lord Pitmedden found such a stock simply moveable, and not like a bond upon annualrent.
