Presmennan reported David Gordon, son to Mr Thomas Gordon, against Urquhart of Meldrum, on a bond of pension bearing to be payable during Mr Thomas's life. Alleged,—It was a mandate, and expired with Meldrum; and he did no service after. Answered,—It was for bygone services as well as to come; which had been often sustained:—as 3d December 1661, Jamison against M'Leod; and in Sir John Nisbet of Dirleton's case against the Earl of Galloway, and Pitmedden's against the Earl of Winton, even after they were Judges. The Lords sustained the bond, conform to its tenor; and would not restrict it.
