The deceased Sir James Kinloch, and the late Sir James his son, now attainted, granted to George Dempster an heritable bond of L.20,000 in November 1742, whereon he was infeft, but under backbond, declaring that he had then paid but L.8735, the remainder and interest on demand; and in December 1743 he retired the backbond with a short discharge signed by father and son. We sustained Dempster's claim on this bond, though granted after 24th June 1742, the term in the vesting act, in respect it was granted by Sir James the father, then proprietor of the estate, who never was forfeited.
