Sir James Campbell married his own servant, i. e. his childrens governess, and six months after the marriage provided her in a jointure of L.100 sterling, with a house and some lands, at which time, though he had an estate of L.10,000 scots per annum, yet his debts amounted to L.21,000 sterling, and there were infeftments for L.86,000 scots, so that the year thereafter it was sequestrated. The Lady being infeft in her jointure, a competition with the other creditors postponed arose, and the Lords restricted her jointure to L.50 sterling per annum, and sustained it to that extent.
