A loch being drained at great expense, and the soil brought to be arable land, the same was found not to come in computo in Valuing the teind; for the Lords were of opinion, That where rent arises from an extraordinary improvement, the titular has no claim, as has frequently been found in the case of grounds improved by inclosing; and though here the question was with a singular successor, who had purchased the land after it was drained, yet it was considered, that if the ground, while the property of the person who improved the same, was not subject to teind, the transmitting of it to another hand could not subject it to a new burden.
