Bailie George Sinclair having pursued the Lord Sinclair, his nephew, for payment of a bond of 4500 merks, granted by Hermiston, the defender's father, to the pursuer, as his provision conform to their father's destination,
Alleged for the defender: That the pursuer, having been one of his curators, præsumitur intus habere ante redditas rationes.
Answered for the pursuer: It is notoriously known, that he never intromitted, and that Sir James Cockburn, the co-curator, was sole intromitter; and the pursuer offered to find caution to refund, if he were found liable, in the event of count and reckoning.
Replied: All curators are liable in solidum, whether they intromit or not.
The Lords sustained the defender's reply.
