In a pursuit betwixt Mr Alexander Ferguson, minister at ——, and Alexander Agnew, for his stipend,—

The Lords found, That a minister's assignation to a tack-duty, being fortified with seven years' possession, whatever were the defects thereof, or objections against the same; sufficient to maintain his right of the stipend, and to infer decerniture against the heritors.

Page 48.

Nota.—There was a decreet obtained at the instance of the heirs-portioners, against John Pringle of Williamlaw, and the decreet was suspended; which was that which was discussed in this place against Williamlaw: and the Lords found the letters orderly proceeded.
