This was a pursuit for the mails and duties of some lands whereof he had assignation from the deceased Sir Alexander Achinmuty. Compeared the said Sir Alexander's relict, and alleged,—She was infeft in the same lands, though posterior to his assignation, yet, as a singular successor, behoved to be preferred to him.
The Lords preferred her, because of her infeftment: neither would they sustain his allegeance of ten years possession of the lands, to produce him the benefit of a possessory judgment against her.
