1796
Francis Cunynghame, Esquire, and Gray pursued Sir John Whitefoord, Baronet, seeking sequestration of the estate of Dunduff and an order remitting to Lord Dreghorn Ordinary to name a factor. Whitefoord answered, arguing that Cunynghame had no legal claim to the estate and that sequestration was inappropriate given the defender's lawful possession and feudal titles. The dispute thus turned on whether sequestration should be granted in the face of competing assertions of right and possession.AI-generated
