1765

William Maxwell of Nithsdale pursued Dougal Maxwell of Cowhill regarding the calculation of compensation due upon a heretable Bond. The pursuer maintained that compensation should be reckoned from the date he acquired the bond rather than from 1711, while the defender argued that the claim was unjust and incompetent. Both parties submitted memorials on 18 February 1765 setting forth their respective positions on the proper date for calculating the compensation owed.AI-generated
