In a removing from salmon fishing, pursued by the Laird of Gairlies against Makulloch, it was alleged, that the defender was infeft in the lands adjacent to the water, with the clause cum piiscationibus in verbis dispositivis before the tenendas; and, by virtue thereof, in possession past memory of man, (it being no coble fishing.) It was replied, that salmon fishings were regalia, and required express infeftment, and this fishing was a salmon fishing in water where the sea ebbed and flowed. In respect of the which reply, the Lords repelled the exception.
