Sir James Wood of Bonnyton, seeking to be factor to his father's estate, offering sufficient caution, and to serve for less, in regard he could augment the rent, and would uphold the house and planting;—the Lords, on the opposition of the creditors, would not allow the apparent heir thus to screw himself once into the possession; though it was minded that they had continued Lanton in the possession of his estate as factor, -at the desire of some of his creditors.
