James Buchan of Ockhorne pursues a declarator of recognition against his Brother, Buchan of Auchmacoy. The Lords found the base deeds done by the son, in favours of strangers, sufficient to infer recognition with his own base infeftment, though his own base right per se was not sufficient, because he was apparent heir, and the deeds flowing from him were not sufficient per se, because he was the King's vassal. This was formerly decided in 1674, Lord Lyon against Forbes of Auchintoul, No 13. p. 13387.
