John Crawfurd having raised a reduction of a decreet of the Commissaries of Edinburgh, against his father, in 1653, decerning him, as tutor to William Blair, in the sum of £1800, against Peter Blair, who, on that decreet, had apprised and possessed his father's tenements several years; because the Commissaries had committed iniquity in refusing several articles of the tutor's discharge; and though the pupil's money was in irresponsable hands, yet they made the tutor liable for all:
The Lords found no iniquity, especially post tanti temporis intervallum.
But, on the 12th of December, the Lords having re-considered this case on a bill, they loosed the Commissaries' decreet; and ordained Blair to count for bis comprising, and Crawfurd for his father's tutorial accounts.
