The Lords found the feuers of Abbacies were only liable for the feu-duties contained in the ancient feu-charters granted by the abbots to them, but not to relieve the Lord of erection of any part of the blench-duty payable by him to the King, unless they have expressly burdened themselves with the said relief in their late charters; because the Lord of erection is liable for the blench-duty, merely upon account of the erection granted in his own favour, which cannot prejudge the anterior vassals.
