The question was first judged 17th June 1740 (supra) and came again to be determined, viz. Whether a proper or improper wadset? and the Lords found the first wadset proper, because the back-tack did not extend to the end of the wadset with an irritancy upon failure of payment of the back-tack duty, but was only during the father's life; so that had he died next day the wadsetter had not allenarly a faculty to possess, but was obliged to possess; and the reverser the son could not keep the possession, though he had punctually paid the tack-duty,—renit. Arniston and Dun; and Kilkerran, Murkle, and Monzie did not vote. But they unanimously found the second wadset improper. 18th November 1741 Adhered.
