The petitioner was appointed factor loco tutoris et loco absentis to Thomas Pitcairn, residing in Van Dieman's Land, who was proprietor of the seventh part of the estate of Baldinny, and of the third part of an heritable debt for L.200. The superior of the said lands demanded an entry from Pitcairn, and the debtor in the bond had intimated his willingness to pay, on receiving a valid discharge.
The petitioner therefore prayed for authority ‘to make up titles in the person of the said Thomas Pitcairn to the said lands and heritable debt, and for that purpose to sign claims of service, and to discharge the said debt on payment thereof; or to do otherwise as to your Lordships shall seem meet.’
After the usual intimation, and there being no opposition, the Court granted the prayer of the petition.
