Kelburn, having given bond to Mr James Glendinning, minister, for £800, appointed to him for serving the cure at the kirk of Largs; Mr John Wilkie, as collector of the vacant stipends, did receive from Kelburn the sum of £400, and gave a discharge, bearing absolute warrandice, and especially to warrant him from the foresaid bond granted to Glendinning. Whereupon, and a decreet recovered at Glendinning's instance, for payment of the whole sum contained in his bond, he did pursue Mr John Wilkie for the whole sum paid to Glendinning.
The Lords found, That Wilkie could be only liable for the sum of £400 received, and the annualrents and expenses to be modified, and not to the whole sum; notwithstanding it was alleged, That the warrandice was special as to the whole bond granted to Glendinning, and did restrict the warrandice thereto; which they found, in law, could not be further extended.
