D. 241. Broun contra Ogilvie. eod. die.

A Person being pursued for an Annuity of Money, did claim the bene∣fite of Retention conform to the late Act of Parliament: But the Lords Found, that albeit Retention was granted for relief of Debitors of their Taxation, and that the Debitor was alike concerned as to the end foresaid, whether he payed the Annualrent as the usura and profite of a principal Sum, or as Annuity due upon a personal Bond; yet the Act of Parliament, mentioned only Annualrents: And being, as all Acts of Par∣liament, stricti Juris, specially such as are correctoriae Juris communis; it could not be extended beyond the Letter of the Law.
