The Earl of Tweeddale charger, against the Tenants of Pinky, reported by Boyne. The Lords found the letters orderly proceeded; and sustain the Commissaries of Edinburgh their decreet; in respect of the probation, and the Act of Parliament 1633, modifying the teind to the fifth part.
Yet that Act was mainly for heritors and titulars, and not for masters and tenants; and, though they were really damnified by that low valuation, (the fourth part being the true intrinsic value,) yet they had an ease by the overrunning of the mettage of the acres, and were free of the expense they would have been put to in leading away their own teind.
