In a competition betwixt Harper and Armour for mails and duties, the Lords found, that civil possession, by obtaining two decreets for seven years rent, was not sufficient to give the benefit of a possessory judgment, which could only be effectual by the continuance of the possession seven years, either by labouring or lifting the duties, during that time.
