Robert Haliburton, donator to the Laird of Coldingknows's escheat and liferent, pursued the old Lady Bothwell for a bond of 600 merks, (both principal and annual-rent since the first date,) granted by her to Coldingknows 1604;—it was found that the bond, being conceived after the form of heritable bonds, could not fall under simple escheat. Next, that the annual-rents, by virtue of the simple escheat, is only due to the date of the declarator, and not after. 3tio, That the king's donator of a liferent-escheat has right to the annual-rents of an heritable bond whereupon no infeftment has followed, and which bears no condition of infeftment or annual-rent to be holden of any other superior.
