The Lords found a burgh liable for reparation of the Minister's manse, although it was a burgh royal, because it had a manse and glebe and landward parish, and so fell not under the act 21st, Parliament 1663.
In a pursuit at the instance of the first minister of Kirkaldy against the hetitors of the parish of Abbotshall, which had been disjoined from Kirkaldy, for a proportion of the expense of repairing his manse, upon this ground, That the pursuer's stipend is wholly paid out of the teinds of Abbotshall, of which the defenders are titulars, and upon them also must the burden of the manse lie; the defenders were found not liable for reparation of the manse, having the manse of their own parish to support.
