Thomas Littlejohn having given in a petition, bearing, that his father Thomas Littlejohn, tailor, left an opulent estate, but it falling into the hands of Andrew Littlejohn and Mr William Clark, his two uncles, they have dissipated and dilapidated the same; whereanent he hath count and reckoning depending against them; and, in the mean time, they enhance and engross all: therefore craving, seeing he could not close his count and reckoning this Session, the Lords would modify some part of his own estate to him, medio tempore, to live on.
It being answered, that the annualrents of his father's debts were yet unpaid, and behoved to be first satisfied;—the Lords modified L.100 Scots of aliment to him, after the payment of the annualrents.
