Some lands being wadset by the heritor thereof, and because they were life rented by another than the heritor, therefore in recompence and excambion thereof, the heritor having set a tack of other lands to the wadsetter, to be bruiked so long as the life-renter of the wadset lands lived ; which tack contained no duty therein insert to be paid therefore; after the decease of the setter of this tack, his relict being served to the terce of the lands set in tack, and seeking removing therefrom; it was found, That the tack could not defend the tacksman, seeing it had no duty therein contained, albeit it was granted in recompence of the aforesaid wadset; seeing if it had contained any duty, the tercer would have had right to her proportion of the duty thereof, how little soever it had been.
