Lawrence Crawford sought letters conform, upon a presentation given to him of the chaplainry of Jordanhill, by the Laird of Kilbirny, patron thereof. Excepted by Malcolm Crawford, That there was another who was in possession thereof, per decennium et triennium, and that by gift of old Kilbirny, this laird's father, and to whom he was heir; which chaplain had set tack to him of his lands, by virtue whereof he had good right to exclude the pursuer from getting of his desire. The Lords repelled the exception, and thought it could not hinder him to get letters conform, especially the other titular not compearing; but that it would be relevant when this pursuer intented action for the duties upon his provision.
