Robert Miln of Barnton gave in a bill, bearing, that, at the Lords' roup, he had bought the lands of Binny on the late Act of Parliament 1681, and that the writs and evidents of these lands were lying in the hands of Sir Alexander Gibson, clerk; and craving them up. It was Answered for the Earl of Annan-dale, and other Creditors of Hugh Sinclair of Binny,—That, under that pretence, he might make a hundred contrivances to embezzle the charter-chest, and to abstract discharges and renunciations of rights which are extinct, and set them on foot again to seclude other creditors, &c.
The Lords granted the desire of his bill; but ordained some of the creditors to be present, that they might see what he got up, on a subscribed inventary and receipt.
