In a declarator of non-entry, pursued by the Laird of Fyvie, the summons concluded that the lands should be decerned to have been in non-entry for the space of eleven years, and the Laird of Pitsligo condemned to restore and pay the mails thereof during the said space, because he had intromitted with them all that time. Alleged by Pitsligo, That it was against all practique that he should be called for the mails and duties bygone of these lands; but first, in such cases, the ground ought to be poinded, and the same not being streinyieable, then the lands to be apprised for the mails.
