If the attainted person shall not surrender before a certain day limited, if the person die before that time, the attainder is void and null, and the Court of Session, as having authority to determine claims on forfeited estates, have power to judge of it, though the attainder be by act of Parliament, in the same way as they must judge of a surrender; and the condition
was thought to be suspensive and not resolutive, therefore the estate was found not forfeited by the attainder of the deceased James Drummond, commonly called Duke of Perth, he having died before 12th July 1746.
