Mr John Elies having infeft his son in Elieston, to be holden base of himself, and being now dead, and so his son succeeding also to him as heir of tailyie, and serving himself heir; he doubted how to be infeft, being both superior and vassal, and if he could direct precepts to infeft himself.
On a bill given in to the Lords, they directed precepts to the Sheriff of the shire to infeft him. But thereafter the Lords found he needed no new infeftment, but that his old one reconvalesced, and his retour consolidated the property with the superiority without a seasine.
