One served heir in general to his father, intents a reduction of a disposition made by his father on death-bed, of an infeftment of annual-rent in favours of his second son. Alleged, A general service was not a sufficient title whereon to reduce a disposition in lecto of an infeftment, without he were also infeft in these lands. This being reported, “the Lords found the general service enough without a special service or infeftment;” though the grouud of the right quarrelled and craved to be reduced was a real right of lands; only the disposition which was immediately in campo was not a real right that in conveying it by succession needed a special service.
