In a removing, pursued by the Earl of Roxburgh against Mr William Moor, from some kirklands in Moorbottle,—
It was alleged for the defender, That he had a disposition of the several lands from the vicar, by virtue whereof he has bruiked and been in possession these forty years bygone; which must defend him in possessorio, and is equivalent as if he had a tack of the lands.
The Lords repelled the allegeance founded on the disposition, charter, and forty years' possession, in regard there was no seasine produced; and found the
disposition was not equivalent to a tack; nor sufficient to defend him against a third party, who was infeft, but only to pursue the granter for implement. Page 16.
