1683. March 30.—The Lords alter the interlocutor of the 14th current, and found Stevenston liable to refound and make up Garmelton's damage, that the water ran not towards his mill as it was wont to do: though all the servitude which Stevenston owed him in law was only a nuda patientia through his ground, and that the channel of the water was diverted casu and by speat, without any fact or deed on Stevenston's part, and could not be returned to the former channel.
