In the action pursued at Laurence Scott's instance, mentioned 22d November 1665, against the heirs-of-line of Boswell of Achfleck, the Lords found it sufficient to the heirs-of-line to renounce; and that their receiving of an inconsiderable sum of money from the heir of tailyie could not make them successors titulo lucrativo to their father, they always having done no deed whereby the creditors might be prejudged of the payment of their debt out of the estate standing in the person of the heir of tailyie.
