In a sale of a small part of a barony, the parties having by a private contract divided the valued rent, and the Commissioners of Supply without further evidence having divided it so in the Cess-books; this was objected to as no sufficient proof of the valuation. The answers mentioned some other collateral evidence, that upon enquiry would show the equality of the division. The question was, whether such enquiry could be made, or if the Commissioner of Supply's act was per se complete evidence of the valuation? —It carried not to enquire.
