Sir John Clerk of Pennycuick gave in a petition, representing he was the most considerable creditor on the Wrights-houses, and that the tenant was removing, and he could not get the same rent; therefore craved he might be allowed to set it at the best avail, for as much as he could get for it, and to uphold and repair the houses that were falling in decay.
The Lords refused the desire of the bill, and left him to do as he would be answerable; for they were not to be curators for all the broken estates in the country, and to be factors to set the lands: their design being to get the Lords' warrant for their actings.
