The Laird of Dumbaith, and some other cautioners for Lyell of Murthill, having paid the sums to the creditors, for the which they were cautioners, charge the Laird of Murthill, at the instance of the creditors. He suspends, alleging, He could not be charged at the instance of the creditors; because his cautioners had made payment to the creditors; and seeing there was neither an assignation nor discharge produced by the cautioners, and that he had repaid to them the best part of the debt, he could not be charged at the instance of the said creditors. The Lords found the letters orderly proceeded, for so much as the cautioners had not gotten for their relief; but ordained the cautioners to produce an assignation or discharge.
