1682. February 11. —The Lords assoilyied Wilkie from Cassie's action of damage, (qualified thus, that, by Wilkie's building up his new land in the fore street of Edinburgh, his shops near adjacent were incommoded;) seeing he behoved to lay his rubbish and materials on the street, when he was rebuilding; and the neighbours' prejudice thereby was both casual and necessary, and no ways in amulationem vicini; et qui jure suo utitur alteri injuriam facere non videtur.

1683. January 20.—The Lords,—having considered the report of the masons upon oath, to whom the consideration and visitation of the chimney was referred,—found the damage and prejudice libelled to have been done by narrowing his chimney in rebuilding John Wilkie's land, not to be proven; and therefore assoilyied.
