The Archbishop of St Andrews found to have no right to the escheats of bastards deceasing within the bounds of his regality, by his general infeftment, unless he would offer to prove, that he was infeft per expressum in his regality, cum eschætis bastardorum; notwithstanding that he alleged, That he and his predecessors had been in use many times, to decern upon the escheats of bastards deceasing within his regality and give declarators thereupon; which was found unlawful.
