Anderson disponed his estate to his son William reserving power to burden him with 4000 merks for a portion to his son Alexander payable after his own death or Alexander's marriage, which should first happen. Alexander was married in 1728. In 1730 the father granted the bond payable at his son's death with annualrent thereafter. In 1737 he altered and granted a new bond bearing annualrent from 1728. The Lords found that the father could not burden his son William with annualrent retro before the date of the bond, and 7th January 1739 adhered, and refused a bill without answers.
