[Elch. No. 8, Forfeiture ; C. Home, No. 89.]
In this case the Lords avoided determining the general question, Whether the clause of the Clan Act annulling all settlements since the 1714 was perpetual, as well as the clause giving a benefit to the loyal superior and vassal ? but found that a disposition to an eldest son, with a burden of debts extending to near twenty-two years' purchase of the lands, fell under the exception of the act, being for just and onerous causes, though the lands were sold by the eldest son at twenty-seven years' purchase.
