This was a competition betwixt funeral charges and medicaments on death-bed, which of them were preferable, there not being sufficient subject, at least in this country, to pay both. The Commissaries preferred the funeral expenses; and on a bill of advocation for Mr Monro, the case was reported by Lord Easdale. I thought the funerator preferable agreeably to the civil law, but the Lords found them preferable pari passu.
