Mr Andrew Lammond minister at Merkinsh, having charged upon his designation of his glebe Robert Bennet heritor thereof, who suspending, that the lands designed are not arable lands, but the greatest part thereof was meadow and mire, and unfit for tillage or labouring, and the rest thereof was houses and yards set out to feuers;—— The Lords respected not this reason, because that clause in the acts of Parliament, bearing arable land, if any such clause were, (as there is nine I think.) is conceived in the minister's favour, and he may seek other lands, such as these are, where there are no better to be had; and sicklike found, that the minister ought not to be debarred from his glebe, although it were laboured in yards, and houses built thereupon, there being no other kirk-lands in the parish.
Clerk, Gilson.
