John Thomson being infeft, by Provost Mains, in an annualrent of £24 out of certain lands of his, pursues poinding of the ground. Compears Mr Robert Ross, and produceth a public infeftment of property of the same land from Provost Mains; and craved preference, because the infeftment of annualrent was base. The annualrenter replied upon possession, by the heritors' payment of the annualrent before the public infeftment; and, for proving thereof, adduced certain witnesses, who proved certain bolls of victual were delivered by Provost Mains to Thomson, for payment of the annualrent, prior to the public infeftment. Which was found sufficient, though thereby the public infeftment was excluded.
