The Countess of Kincairden and Cornwal of Bonhard decided. Bonhard had been tacksman of the Earl of Kincairden's coal and salt at Culross; but had, by letters under my Lord's hand, ground to crave retention and abatement of 5000 merks of the tack-duty. The Countess, as donatrix to her husband's liferent escheat, craves he may count for the whole, and alleged,—She was not bound to stand to these abatements.
The Lords allowed the defalcations, and found, she behoved to stand thereto.
