In the same action, [See Moncreiff against Balnagown, &c. 11th July
1629; supra p. 292.] it was alleged, That the said Mr Archibald Moncreiff, compriser, could have no action for the maills and duties of the lands comprised; because he was not infeft upon his comprising. To the which it was answered, That the defenders had no place to allege this exception; because the comprising was deduced, against themselves and their lands, for their own proper debt, and there was no other party contending with the pursuer, who could allege a real right to the land, but only the defender. The Lords repelled the exception in respect of the reply. 2d MS. Page 32.
