Earl Marishall pursues Andrew Fraser for removing. The defender alleged, He had right, by a tack set by the pursuer's father, who had power to set tacks for his lifetime and fifteen years after, to the kindly tenant, but diminution of the rental. To the which it was replied, That this tack cannot defend him; because the defender was not a kindly tenant, and the tack was set with diminution. It was duplied, That the Earl had approven the tack, in so far as he had suffered him to bruik the tack; and, by his chamberlains, he received the duty therein contained, ever since his father's decease. It was answered, That the acceptance of the tack-duty can only defend him for years bypast, but cannot hinder the master to quarrel the tack in time to come: as was decided betwixt the Lady Dumfermling and her tenants. Which answer the Lords found relevant.
