No allowance given to a tutor for incidental personal charges in the pupil's affairs not particularly instructed, in respect inventories were not given up, in terms of the act of Parliament 1672; although the tutor had done the equivalent, by signing an inventory of the pupil's whole estate, writs, and evidents, in presence of the nearest relatives on the father's and mother's side, and giving up the said inventory to be kept by them as a charge against him.
Found, That the pupil must give the tutor allowance for cess, teinds, and feu-duty, upon procuring declarations from the collectors of the cess, and the chamberlains of the titulars and superior, that such cess, teind, and feu-duties were paid, and finding caution to relieve the minor thereof, although the particular receipts were not produced.
