In a declarator of redemption pursued at the instance of the Lord Ley against Mark Porteous, there being an allegeance proponed, That there could be no declarator, unless the Lord Ley should grant a three years tack of the lands to the defender, for 100 merks yearly, conform to the condition of the tack, the lands being worth 300 merks of yearly rent, the Lords repelled the allegeance, in respect of the act of Parliament 19th K. James II. (1449), and found all such tacks null, by way of exception, and so revived the foresaid act, which was gone in desuetude.
