In the competition between Boog, and John Muir a stabler, in a removing; Newton refused to sustain seven years' possession, as sufficient to prefer in a removing against an infeftment which was prior in date; but he confessed that seven years' possession was sufficient in an action for maills and duties, (which is a possessory judgment,) against an infeftment prior in date; only found the naked priority of the right sufficient to give preference in judicio de migrando. See Hope's Minor Pract. tit. Of Removings; and 9th June 1677, Guthries.
This is doubted, as non bene judicatum. Vide infra, at the end of February 1680, No. 42, p. 97.
