Menzies of Castlehill, as heir to his father, pursued Carshogill, (for whom the pursuer's father, as cautioner, had paid 2000 merks,) upon a clause of relief contained in the bond, wherein the pursuer's father was cautioner for the defender. Alleged, The benefit of that clause of relief pertained not to the heir of the defunct, but to his executor; as was decided supra, (Edgar and Cant against Edgars and their Tutors, 1628, July 10.) Replied, He that was debtor could not allege that; but, if the executor were striving with the heir, he might do it. As for the defender, he was subject in payment, and could not found a reason upon another man's right; and, to free the defender of all danger, the pursuer offered to find caution to relieve him at the executor's hands, and all others. The Lords repelled the allegeance, in respect of the reply and offer of caution.
