Lilias Hamilton being infeft by her husband, in life-rent, pursues her tenants. Compearance is made for their present master, who alleged, that her husband's right was only a wadset granted by him, and that he had used an order, and had redeemed the wadset, and paid the money to the pursuer's husband; and neither knew, nor was obliged to know the pursuer's base infeftment from her husband, the wadsetter, which had never any other possession, but the husband's. It was answered, That the pursuer's sasine being registrated, he was obliged to know the same, as well as if it had been an inhibition, especially seeing there was no process
of declarator, in which case all parties having interest, should have been called at the market cross, but a voluntary redemption, albeit upon an order. The Lords sustained the defence, notwithstanding of the reply.
