| He contracted large debts and greatly encumbered the estate, which he settled on his cousin David Carnegie of Pittarrow, on condition of his debts, amounting to £59,000 Scots, being paid, under reservation of his own liferent and his wife's dowry. This settlement he challenged soon afterwards on the ground of circumvention and fraud; and it was set aside by Act of Parliament in 1661. James, the second Earl of Southesk, and David Carnegie of Pittarrow complained against this Act, which they petitioned Parliament to review, but it does not appear that they ever got any redress.5 | ||
| He died without issue.6 | ||
