Elisabeth Menzies' action sought to set aside the purchase of parts of the family estate at Glenlyon by her uncle in law, Alexander Menzies, in 1783, several years after the death of her father, Archibald Menzies. Her agents claimed that the purchase was done improperly. On March 3, 1795, Elisabeth Menzies married John Claudius Beresford of Dublin. The case was decided, in 1796, in favor of Alexander Menzies.
