Elizabeth Sands having pursued her husband, who deserted her and went abroad, for adherence, upon the act of Parliament, and the bishop having refused to excommunicate him for non-adherence, that by virtue of that act she might have divorce; she did therefore apply to the Council for an aliment, and got it locally out of certain tenements of her husband's, and now pursues for mails and duties. It was alleged for Mr Robert Edmiston, That he had adjudged the tenements in question, and was thereupon infeft, and the act of Council could but import an assignation to the mails and duties, which ceased by an infeftment, though posterior, which the Lords found relevant.
