In the debate between Brown of Dolphinston and Marjory Cockburn, about a pasturage, the Lords found the servitude of pasturage proven: but, in regard it appeared, that, for thirty years together, the parties had always transacted it, and taken ten merks by year in lieu thereof; therefore the Lords modified and liquidated it to that price yearly, in all time coming. So that these customs of a voluntary conversion are not safe, because they may be afterwards obtruded as an acquiescence.
