In that process of the Laird of Rentoune against the Lady Aytone, she was
admitted, after litiscontestation, to give her oath, or rather to propone, by way of exception, the quality contained in her oath, anent the retention of the annuity payable to her, as possessor of the teinds, conform to the proportion due out of her tack-duty which she was obliged to pay to the Laird of Rentoune, being £100: and to keep off the years aughting, so much as she had paid, although she had paid, some years before, the said tack-duty without retention; because it was scarce well known while some years thereafter, by an Act of Exchequer, who should relieve ilk other thereof. And here it was alleged, That Sir Robert Dowglas, being obliged to relieve the Laird of Rentoune of such burdens, the Lady Aytone, in whose favour Sir Robert had procured that her tack, without sums of money, was obliged to relieve the said Sir Robert.
