Found, that when a pupil's tenants are not able to pay the by-gone rents before the tutory, and the current rents, the tutors may forbear to exact what the tenants cannot spare without hazard of laying waste the lands by the tenants being disabled; albeit it was alleged by my Lord Oxford the pupil, that there was no fear of casting the lands waste, for that other tenants, able to pay the rent, would have been got; but here the curators had been so cautious as to procure a precognition by warrant of the Lords, conform to which they had acted when their pupil was abroad.
