My Lord Linlithgow having purchased the lands of Medhope, and taken right to an expired comprising of the same for 3000 merks, and thereon having charged Sir Walter Seaton, the superior, to enter him; he craves the benefit of the act of Parliament, by which the superior may make an offer to pay the sums for which the lands were apprised.
The Lords inclined to cause Sir Walter enter the compriser, notwithstanding of the act of Parliament, and that the act was to be understood of comprisings yet running and not expired, and that the offer was not timeous nor the order prescribed by the act of Parliament kept.
