Margaret Hay, having led a comprising of certain lands against Alexander Fraser of Philorth; before her comprising was allowed by the Lords she died; and her son, Alexander Fraser, being served and retoured heir to her, gave in a supplication to the Lords, desiring that the same comprising, led at his mother's instance, should be allowed in his name, and that he might have a warrant to the director of the chancery to direct out precepts for infefting of him, as if the comprising had been deduced by himself.
