In a cause, pursued by Sir R. Hepburn of Keith against David Borthwick his tenant, for removing; as also for leaving so much fulyie on the ground, at his departure, as was contained in his tack: it came hereto be questioned, if he was obliged to leave lime, since that was the usual way of improving and gooding land in East Lothian, at least in that corner of it. It was thought lime would not come under the general name of muck, because it has other more principal ends and designs, besides the bringing in of barren lands, viz. in building, &c.
