1541. March 13.—In a cause moved by Mr Alexander Ogilvie against certain tenants, for spoliation from him of their thirle multures, the libel was cassen, because the said Mr Alexander libelled not the title whereby he claimed the said multures to pertain to him, and ex sola consuetudine utendi ad molendinum alienum dominus illius molendini non potest protendere jus in multuras, nec cogi potest nolens venire in posterum; quia, ex actu mere voluntatis, etiam per centum annos, non inducetur consuetudo, nec alteri jus acquiritur; and so jura hæc incorporalia et servitutes non possunt sine titulo possideri.
