The Lords found, there was no reason to cause Sir Andrew pay any part of the sums contained in the decreet-arbitral, till Agnew of Galdinoch, the charger's cedent, did implement and fulfil his part of the decreet-arbitral, by giving Sir Andrew a general discharge of the tutor-accounts, and of all his claims, ex cept only the said sum of 5000 merks, decerned to him in full thereof; for this were to draw the money out of Sir Andrew's hands, and yet leave him to the hazard of Galdinoch's quarrelling the said decreet-arbitral, who assigned Stewart in general to the count and reckoning, but did not homologate the decreet-arbitral. And, though it was not conceived conditionally, and the one made the cause of the other, yet the Lords thought it was implied; and, therefore, found the letters orderly proceeded; the charger obtaining his cedent's general discharge to Sir Andrew, of all clags and claims he had to lay to his charge, except the sum decerned in the said decreet-arbitral.
