John Inglis pursued Gilbert Kirkwood for the spulyie of the teinds of Killeith. Alleged, That the summons could not be sustained against him, because he did not intromit with them at all, but had set both stock and teind to the tenants, who paid him a duty for all together. The Lords, notwithstanding, repelled the exception, because they thought he might be convened at the first for the spulyie, seeing the tenants would have their relief against him, if they were first decerned.
