| Case | Date | Legal Subject | Abstract |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tollemache v. Maxwell | 1788 | Debt, Adjudication, Bankruptcy, Estate, Sequestration, Infeftment | Wilbrahame Tollemache, as pursuer, petitioned the Court to permit payment of the balance due on his heritable bond to Maxwell, the defender, after a prior warrant for £1000 Sterling. Based on the single document cataloged for this case. |
| William Hamilton v. Mary Burton-Hamilton | 1765 | Aliment, Reduction, Debt, Tailzie, Succession, Infeftment | Sir William Hamilton of West-Port pursued Mary Burton-Hamilton and Mary De Gares, alias Bonamy, seeking reduction of two heritable bonds and petitioning the Court to alter a recent interlocutor. The defenders answered, resisting the reduction, and Burton-Hamilton subsequently replied, defending her claim by asserting that she was entitled to indemnification for expenses and that her guardian had acted in fulfillment of his duty, notwithstanding any objection on grounds of ob turpem causam. |
| Williamson v. Saunders | 1790 | Debt, Trustees, Trustee, Compensation, Infeftment, Assignation | Joseph Williamson junior, as pursuer, claimed against James Saunders, Writer to the Signet, who answered that Williamson's status as trustee did not amount to an onerous assignation and that prior interest claims were groundless. Based on the single document cataloged for this case. |
