In the action, mentioned 25th November 1698, between the L. of Dean and Kinnaird; the attempted settlement not taking effect, the Lords advised the cause injure, and found the reasons of circumvention and fraud, both in consilio et eventu, not sufficient to reduce the tack; and that the tenant should have informed himself better what was the true rent, and not have relied on Dean's assertion, and tried the quality of the ground; and his eye being his merchant, he had none to blame but himself; and he had acquiesced two years. But as to the damages by not removing the stones, and not making the ponds, the Lords allowed a probation, before answer, to both parties, on their several allegeances.
