[Kilk., No. 2, Prescription.]
I mention this case only because an incidental point was determined in it which seemed to be of some consequence; whether the prescription in favour of tenants, introduced by Act 9, Parl. 2, Sess. 1, Chas. II. takes place when the
estate is sold, and so the landlord is changed, or only in the case of the removal of the tenant, according to the words of the Act. The Lords found, that, this being a correctory statute, the words of it could not be extended. Dissent. Arniston.
