Jean Crawford having right by progress to some tacks set by the Bishop of Dumblain to the deceased Kennedy of Baltersan, of the teinds of his lands, pursued John Kennedy now of Baltersan, as heir to the defunct his father, for payment of 16 years tack-teind-duties; during which time, it was proved, that he the defunct was heritor of, and possessed the lands. The Lords found the defender liable for these teind-duties, albeit it was not proved that he was in the natural possession, or that he received a joint duty for stock and teind; in respect it is presumed, that he intromitted with the whole rents comprehending both stock and teind; seeing it is not alleged that any other person uplifted the teind.
