Ebenezer Oliphant, as creditor in relief on the estate of Gask, which was sustained, thereafter the Barons of Exchequer surveyed another subject, an heritable debt on the estate of Nairm due to Gask; and he entered a new claim of relief on that subject, which was also sustained, so far as he should not draw out of the other estate; but then he claimed other three articles, 1st, The expenses of his former claim; 2do, The expenses of one of the creditors, to whom he was bound, of entering his claim and recovering a decree, which this claimant said he had paid him; 3tio, The dues paid by him in Exchequer of recovering payment. We unanimously dismissed the claim as to all the three. They were not due by the forfeiting person, nor now by the Crown.
