In an action pursued to have it found that Menzies ought to bear a proportion of the Ministers' new augmentation, because his teinds, though his charter designed them decimæ inclusæ, yet were not truly such as have the privilege of exemption from paying any part of Ministers' stipends; because they were known and separate from the stock, in so far as his charter bore a separate reddendo, and duty payable for these teinds, viz. twenty-eight bolls of victual; likeas, de facto, they bore a part of the Ministers' old stipend; “the Lords found they were not the true kind of detimæ inclusæ, and therefore decerned him to bear a part of the new augmentation.”
