In this case the Lords had great difficulty on whom the trust devolved, on the other trustees declining or being at such a distance that they could not execute it. We seemed unanimous that it was not in this Court. The President inclined to think that the College had a sort of natural interest, but upon Arniston observing that the trust devolved, to the Crown, the President seemed to go into it. But then it was observed, that were the money consigned the Court could order to be lent that it might not lie idle. They granted warrant to the petitioners to uplift the money, they giving their bond, binding not them and their successors in office, but them and their heirs conjunctly and severally, to report to this Court in six months the security taken by them for the money, to be recorded in the books of Session.
