The strongest of all these cases was betwixt Spottiswood and Burnet of Craigend. It was attended with several favourable circumstances; in so much, that, although the Lord Alemoor, Ordinary, 10th December 1761, found Spottiswood entitled to the superiority of Craigend, and that the lands were in non-entry, yet, on a reclaiming petition, and answers, the Lords, 14th July 1763, altered, and found, That Mr Burnet was entitled to hold his lands of Craigend of the Crown, and therefore assoilyied; and to this they again adhered 3d December thereafter.
But, on an appeal, the decree was reversed 22d March 1763; and a clause, as to the non-entry, was added in these words:—
“But so as not to affect the respondent with any penalties on account of such non-entries, except from the commencement of the present action.”
