In a removing, the receipt of an herezeld from the eldest son of the father, who was liferentaller of the land, is sufficient to save the payer from removing from that land for a year after the rentaller's decease. Item, a promise not to remove, made by the pursuer, may be proven by witnesses, to save the person to whom the promise is made from removing, for the space of a year only after the promise; and if it be proponed for longer space, it must be therewith alleged; that the promise was then accepted, and must only be proven scripto, or by the oath of the maker of the promise. See Proof.
