An unusual jurisdiction of summoning and pursuing delinquents, viz. killers of fish in forbidden times, outwith the bounds of a Barony or Regality contained in a charter by Robert III. of a Barony and free Regality, does not thereby become a part of the said Barony or Regality, so as to transmit therewith; and therefore though the Laird of Logiealmond, having right by progress to the said Barony or Regality, in 1678 got a charter on his own resignation
in Exchequer, ratifying that old jurisdiction with a novo-damus; the Lords found that he had not sufficiently connected his title to that superadded jurisdiction, and found the novo-damus in Exchequer null. As to the lawfulness of that jurisdiction, vide the Informations, especially that for Logiealmond; but that point was waved.
