The Lords sustained the execution of a general charge against Sir John's tutors and curators, though it was not at the head burgh of the shire but of the regality where they lived; in respect that Glasgow was the head burgh of the regality, and that such executions were common there; but because of the obscurity of several head burghs of regality, they found that this was not to be extended.
For Sir John, Pat. Grant.Clerk, Dalrymple.
Fol. Dic. v. 3. p. 186. Edgar, p. 4.
