Accordingly, upon a complaint of this nature, given in by Mary and Janet Witherspoons, their husbands and children, interested in the settlement of their brother, James Witherspoon, who had named tutors and curators to their said children, the Lords, December 4th 1774, removed the said tutors and curators as suspect, and discharged them from further administration of the pupils' affairs.
