Earl Leven, Ordinary on the bills, reported a bill by this Robert Ross for a warrant to the Chancery to issue a commission to the Sheriff to take trial by an inquest for dividing the old and new extent of a large barony, whereof the petitioner has right to only a part, and to ascertain his part of the said extents,—and the bill gave us some ancient precedents from the records of Chancery of commissions issued out by authority of this Court, and retours made upon them. The Lords unanimously passed the bill, and indeed this seems to be the only distinct legal method to divide and ascertain these extents.
