On a claim entered of Clunie-M'Pherson's estate, by his son on a disposition by his father, on the ground that the act of attainder attaints Evan M'Pherson of Clunie, whereas the claimant's father was not, at the date of the act, of Clunie, because Lachlan M'Pherson, the claimant's grandfather, was alive, and was then proprietor or laird of Clunie, and therefore Evan the son could at most be only called younger of Clunie, though he was commonly designed simply of Clunie, as appeared by the many claims on his estate; but the Court found that the father was attainted; and rejected the claim.
