The reasons of the summons were, that the Lady ought not to have been decerned to have a terce, because her husband died not last vest and seased thereintil ut de feodo, because he had only the superiority of the samen, and had used another man to the fee of the land; and of the practick of the law of Scotland, no lady ought to have a terce but of that whilk her husband died last vest and seased ut de feodo. The Lords found the said allegeance relevant, and so reduced the said rollment of Court.
