[See the numerous Reports of this Case pointed out in the Index to the Decisions.]
The Lords having ordained Sir Alexander Cumming's decreet of reduction of Sir Alexander Kennedy's right to the conservator's office to be extracted, Sir Andrew thereon appealed to the British Parliament. John Vere Kennedy, his son, as conjunct with his father, claiming his right, and Sir Alexander Cumming alleging he was never owned nor acknowledged as such, neither by the royal burghs nor the Estates of Zealand,—the Lords reserved his right and possession as accords.
