Anderson, parson of Dysart, having a designation of four acres of John Watson's land, which was bishop's land, charges him to remove. Watson suspends on this reason, that there are parson's lands in the parish more ewest to the kirk, and lying about the parson's manse, and therefore, according to the order of the act of Parliament anent designation of glebes, the parson's lands must be designed in the first place, before the defender's lands, which are bishop's lands.—It is answered for the charger, That the parson's lands were feued out before the said act of Parliament, and are all built with houses incorporated within the town of Dysart.—It was answered, That the said act of Parliament bears, that the parson's lands shall be first designed, although they be feued out before.
Which the Lords found relevant, and ordained the parson's lands to be cognosced, what quantity was wanting thereof to be made out of the bishop's land.
