In an action pursued by John Crawfurd, as assignee to an action of spuilzie for the teinds of Gaston; and Symenton by the Minister of Faill, the Lords found the exception competent against the Minister upon a decreet-arbitral, whereby he was obliged to set tack to the Laird of Craigie Wallace, relevant against the assignee, because he was not tacksman nor user of the inhibitions, but the minister; and they being in bona fide against him, they could not be spuilziers therefore.
