The process betwixt Sir William Ker and Sir William Bennet of Grubet, Charles Murray of Haldane, and Others, anent the debatable lands on the borders between Scotland and England, being advised; the Lords found the King and Sir William Ker, his donatar, had the right of property; but that prescription might also run against his Majesty; and therefore found that the neighbouring gentlemen, having conterminous and adjacent lands, might prescribe, by forty years' possession, a right of commonty, and a servitude of pasturage through the same.
