Ma Loclkhart, a creditor to his brother-in-law Sinclair of Roslin, got a disposition in security, but Sinclair being rendered bankrupt in terms of the act 1696, Mr Lockhart could not trust to his disposition, and proceeded to poind several particulars, and among the rest a lead cistern, the copper for making a boiler, some rape seed, rape oil, and other materials for making soap, but did not remove the particulars, but made a sort of new contract with a Dutchman, Vander Waller, whom Sinclair had hired to make soap for him, to continue to make soap for him Lockhart, who, as Vander Waller swears, paid him L.90 sterling for carrying on the work. The soap was accordingly manufactured, the duty paid by Roslin, and the soap sold by him to Dumfries merchants, and a part of the price received; and Richardson, another creditor of Sinclair's having arrested, the Lords first preferred the arrestment and found the poinding simulate. But this day they found no sufficient qualifications of simulation, and therefore preferred Mr Lockhart, me quidem multum remicte.
