1798

William Riddell, along with Christopher Moubray and separately as trustee for Mrs Charlotte Wood, alias Gillespie, petitioned the Court for authority to distribute proceeds from judicial sales of landed estate. The first petition sought permission to pay a heritable bond secured by lands sold at judicial sale, and a later petition requested warrant for payment of the balance due from the sale of the Craigdarroch estate lands. The litigation thus comprised successive applications for judicial sanction to discharge encumbrances and trust obligations from the sale funds.AI-generated
