In an action for mails and duties, betwixt Andrew Scot surgeon, and tenants of Whitslaid, the Lords found a comprising of the lands libelled, whereof the duties were acclaimed by the pursuer, was not a sufficient title to produce action to him; except he had been either seased in the lands by virtue of his comprising, or had done diligence to obtain himself seased, by charging of the superior, who had refused, or such other lawful diligence.
Act. Craig.Clerk, Scot.

*** But now, as to mails and duties, a decreet of apprising is understood to be an effectual diligence, and equivalent to an assignation intimated; as to which, See Competition.
