In the action of reduction pursued by the Earl of Rothes against Gordon of Halhead, the Lords found, that an act of Parliament, made in anno 1515, ratifying a paction made betwixt George Earl of Rothes and his Majesty's treasurer in anno 1509, and annulling all infeftments granted of the barony of Balnebreich, or any part thereof, after the said paction, was sufficient to take away the defender's infeftment. He was not called to see it reduced in Parliament. It was also found, that the act made in his Majesty's last Parliament in anno 1621, anent salvo jure cujuslibet, was only extended to ratifications granted in his Majesty's own time, and not in his predecessor's time; as also, that the King's revocation is not extended to acts of Parliament made in his minority, unless they be per expressum mentioned in the revocation.
