The Lords found, that the child's aliment fell under the act James VI., that is the triennial prescription; and the Lords found, that the tutor's acknowledgment does not prove it resting,—and what moved me much in this case was, that the tutor never had, nor can now count, and is broke; and his eldest son was executor to the minor, and liable to pay if any was owing, and the acknowledgment given not only after the tutory was ended, but a new prescription run.
