1764–1765
Janet Boswell of Northern Glassmont pursued Elisabeth Boswell regarding the estate of David Boswell of Norther Glaffmount, disputing whether Elisabeth's liferent right extinguished a prior annuity to Walter Boswell and whether Janet could retain £200 sterling to answer Elisabeth's annuity charged upon a 12,000 merk debt. Janet petitioned the Court to alter interlocutors regarding the annuity burden and her right of retention, while Elisabeth sought payment of annuity arrears and future instalments, asserting that David Boswell had intended to burden Janet and her husband with the obligation. The parties exchanged answers disputing the intended allocation of the annuity burden and the priority of the competing claims.AI-generated
