[Fac. Coll., VI. 289; Dictionary, 8826.]
Monboddo. Though a man has sold his estate, he is still entitled to stand on the roll, if not denuded. The only remedy is the trust oath: That is, between God and his own conscience.
Kennet. The purpose of parties was that the liferent should be retained. The procuratory of resignation does not entitle Sir James Grant to be infeft. During the life of Captain Dunbar, Sir James Grant could not bona fide have taken infeftment.
Gardenston. Captain Dunbar was formerly proprietor: how is he divested? He is not, nor can he be habilely divested during his life.
Auchinleck. The bargain was fair, but the parties went to work in a bungling manner.
On the 23d February 1774, “the Lords appointed Captain Dunbar to be put on the roll.”
Act. A. Lockhart. Alt. R. M'Queen.
