The Court found a good many years ago, that a man having mortified a sum for a fund for certain bursaries in the College of Aberdeen, the patronage of which he gave to Sir Alexander Ramsay, and committed the trust of the money to the town of Aberdeen, to employ it on land or interest, and the town refusing to accept of the trust, that the Court came in the place of the town. The judgment is mentioned in a petition of Sir Alexander Ramsay's the patron, 23d February 1745, which I keep because of the novelty of the decision. Vide Trust.
