The Lords found, That a charter granted to an heir of the lands of which his father was heritor before, the said charter flowing from no deed done by the father to the son, but proceeding upon another party's resignation in favour of the son, having no dependence or relation to the father's right, made not the son to be lucrative successor to the father in these lands.
