Alison Fletcher, relict of John Graham, postmaster, on a bill, gets a year's annualrent of the sum she liferents upon Lumisden of Invergelly's estate, (she having a preferable right,) on her bond to refund, if, in the ranking of the creditors, it should be found not due. Yet Anne Loch, relict of William Carnegie, seeking an aliment to be modified to her from the Earl of Southesk, with whom she and Balnamoon, donatar to her husband's escheat, had a count and reckoning depending, alleging the Earl was his debtor in considerable sums; the Lords refused it, in regard Arniston, auditor to the count and reckoning, declared that they had not insisted before him to bring it to any period this session.
