The case of Alexander Buchan, vintner, against Thomas Young, merchant, was reported by Castlehill; and the Lords found, that Thomas Young had not taken the assignation to Gordon and Bisset's bond in satisfaction, but only as an accessory security; because the words of his acceptation of them were, “when paid.” See Dury, 29th March 1626, King. But found Thomson's charging and denouncing Buchan unwarrantable, he having scored his name out of the decreet; and therefore ordained Thomas Young, on his own charges, to relax Alexander Buchan, and to obtain him the gift of his own escheat.
