Mr James Stewart, commissary of Dunkell's escheat and liferent is taken by Mr Patrick Murray, who pursues a general declarator; compears A.

To the which it was answered, That the said first donatar cannot have an interest to stay a general declarator of the commissary's escheat upon this horning, which was executed in anno 1625, long after the first donatar's gift, and this was only proponed for the single escheat, and not for the liferent. To the which it was duplied, That the first donatar had good interest to quarrel any right that might
prejudge him of his first gift. The Lords found he had no interest, hoc loco, to stay the general declarator. The half of the Lords were of another opinion, and the President's vote decided the interlocutor.
