We repelled the objection against the Crown's vassals of the Earldom of Ross and Lordship of Ardmenach, that by the acts of James III. and James VI. these Lordships belonged to the Duke of Cumberland, the King's second son, and the vassals were his vassals, both because these acts did not on the existence of a second son eo ipso vest these lands in him, and because the act 1681 requires no more than that the persons be infeft holden of the Crown and in possession, which entitles them to vote till their infeftments are set aside; and for the same reason we repelled the objection, that some of them held formerly of the family of Seaforth, and had not bought the superiority.
