The minister, being presented to the kirk of Auchterhouse, and unto the whole parsonage teinds thereof, by the Bishop of Dunkeld, as being, at his presentation, jure devoluto, the Earl of Buchan, who was patron, neglecting to present, did pursue Dronlaw for the teinds of his lands for several years since the presentation.
It was alleged for the defender, Absolvitor; because the Earls of Buchan, having always agreed with the former ministers, and been in use to pay a modified and local stipend, this minister could crave no more than his predecessors.
The Lords did sustain the defence as to all bygones which were bona fide paid by the defender to the Earl of Buchan; reserving action as accords for the future.
