Manner having fined Mr Willam Kintore for sundry absences from the head courts of the shire of Linlithgow; and having summarily poinded the tenants for the amerciament; and alleging that suit and presence being in the reddendo of the charter, it was of the same nature with the feu-duty, and might have summar execution; else, what if the heritor dwell in another shire, the King's head courts may become desolate; yet the Lords did think this procedure to poind the tenants precipitant, without a previous decreet of poinding; and without deciding whether these laws were debitum fundi or not, they found the poinding illegal, and the bond granted to stop it null; and reponed the master and tenants to their defences. See Vis et metus.
