This defence was found sufficient to assoilzie from the teinds of a croft of land, That, for thirteen years, it was possessed as a glebe by the Minister of Fittie, though he was only a catechist at a chapel of ease for the fishers; and also found, that the carrots and neips herbs were not liable for teind, unless it were the custom of the place to pay teind therefor; and, after probation, it was found they were in use to pay eighteen pence for every hundred beds.
