Found, That an appriser infeft, though the ward falls not by his death, but by the death of the debtor, will yet exclude the superior, and be preferable to the donatar of ward, just as much as an annual-rent confirmed by the superior; because though the infeftment be given by the superior in obedience only, yet is it in obedience to the law; and a strong argument was drawn from analogy of the act, allowing ward-lands to be set in feu, which feus, by constant practice, are held to be good against the ward, so that the donatar can draw nothing but the feu-duties.
