In this cause found, that an instrument of kenning to a terce, needed not to be registrate as other seasines mentioned in the act of Parliament: and that a right of terce is drawn back to the time of the defunct's decease, though the relict be not kenned a long time thereafter; and yet if a third party bona fide meddled with the rent of the terce lands before the kenning, he will not be liable in restitution, but she will have action against the heir of the husband therefore.
Act. Lockhart and Dinmuire.Alt. Maxwell and Cunyghame.
Advocates' MS. folio 60.
