The Lords unanimously found, that the extension of the legal reversion in the act 1661, whether the extension from seven to ten years, or the extension of legals run before the date of the act, but after 1652 to the year 1664, did not run against minors;— only the Ordinary seemed to doubt. But they demurred greatly as to the other points, viz. Whether the bygone rents or annualrents of the apprising before the appriser's death, divide between his heir and executor, or if the whole went to the heir? 2do, If they divide, Whether the apprising could be declared satisfied even against the heir unless the bygones were also paid to the executor? They therefore remitted to the Ordinary to hear parties further to the end they might search into precedents; when poor Lord Newhall, Reporter, before he left the table, was seized with a fit of sickness, whereof he died the 14th.
