A retour in 1656 of the heir of a wadsetter, and who held blench of the reverser with the non-entries discharged, being produced to prove old extent, and which in the descriptive clause did design the land a five-pound land, but in the valent clause retoured them to be worth one penny both nunc et tempore pacis, and that the non-entries were discharged; this was found no sufficient evidence of the old extent in terms of the statute, although they also produced an old charter designing them a five-pound land, and appealed to a roll in Exchequer.—We adhered. (See Dict. No. 13. p. 8573.)
*** And on the same 22d February 1745, we gave the same judgment upon the like case against Archibald Campbell concerning the lands of Ellersly. (Dict. No. 14. p. 8574.)
