A tack of the teinds of Kilmaranoch being set by the Abbot of Cambuskenneth to Sir James Erskine for his life-time, and for the life-time of his heir-male; and after the decease of the heir-male, for the life-time of his heir-male, and two nineteen years thereafter; the Earl of Dundonald, having right by progress to the said tack, pursued a spuilzie of the teinds.

It was alleged, That the tack is expired; and if the Earl of Dundonald will condescend and prove that the said Sir James had an heir-male surviving, the defenders will offer to prove, that two nineteen years had expired since the decease of the last heir-male.

The Lords found, That the pursuer should condescend upon an heir-male, and prove that he survived the said Sir James; and if he should condescend and prove, that the defender ought to prove (as said is) that the tack was expired; and did assign to the pursuer and defender to prove respective.

Dirleton, p. 141.
