This was a competition for a sum in that Trade's hands, Between the Doctor, as assignee by James Inglis' father, and the said James Inglis, to whose behoof it was declared the bond was granted. The Lords found the father, as administrator to his son, a minor, could not assign this bond; though it was offered to be proved, that the onerous cause of the assignation was the Doctor's advancing necessaries to aliment the son, but that the money belonged to the boy, conform to the conception of the bond. But, on a bill, refused to let it be uplifted, without caution to re-employ it to the same heirs as it now stands.
