Mersington reported the Earl of Tweeddale, Chancellor, against Dury of Craiglascar. The question was,—He, being a vassal of the regality of Dumfermline, if he was liable in the sheriff-fiars as the price of his teinds, or in the regality fiars, which are much dearer. The Chancellor founded on a decreet he had obtained against Fotheringham of Halhill. Answered,—This vassal, Craiglascar, is in another case; because he has a decreet of the Commission for Plantations finding him only liable in the Exchequer prices. Alleged,—This was before Dumfermline got the tack.
