The King's reduction against Murray of Livingston, the Lord Torphichen, Mr John Elies, and other heritors adjacent to Drumshorlan-muir, was reported by Pitmedden; and the Lords find not only those heritors whose charters bear the muir of Drumshorlan per expressum, but even those which only carry the common clause, cum communi pastura, have a right of servitude on it, if they can prove prescription by forty years' possession; though it was alleged to be imprescriptible, as a part of the King's patrimony, though unannexed.
