Anent the action pursued by Mr George Forrester's wife, executrix to her husband, who was chamberlain to the Abbey of Holyroodhouse, against the Laird of Dreddon, for certain teinds of certain years, it was alleged by the said Laird, That he had acquittances of three terms, wherefor he was not obliged to show any acquittance of any terms before the said three terms, being sufficient enough for all terms preceding the said three terms. It was found by the Lords' interlocutor, That without the said Laird would show three sundry acquittances of three sundry terms continually together, his allegeance was no ways relevant; and if he would show the said acquittances for the said three terms, as said is, it were sufficient enough for all years preceding.
