A Proposition not unfit to be Motioned in Parliament.
Whether or not decreets shall prescribe for sums of money within 40 years, as well as obligations, since the Act makes no mention of decreets; and, to clear both the old Acts for obligations, and the late Act of prescription of heritable rights 1617, whether the prescription be once interrupted, if the possession be continued forty years again after that, without any new interruption, the obligation or right shall prescribe or not? This was drawn in question betwixt Elisabeth Ramsay and Mackcoul.
