In a suspension, Balvarde against Auchinlecke, the decreet for heirship is sustained, because the defunct was a burgess, wherein the custom of heirship-drawing is set down according to the roll in commissariat's or the town-clerk's books, where a yoke of oxen will be taken of seven, or of fewer; item, a dozen of silver spoons; but, if they be more or fewer, only one is due.
