The branch of his claims now under consideration was for the regality of Langton, which had been part of the regality of Morton, but was conveyed away in 1666 cum privilegio regalitatis, upon which charters were granted by the Crown, and has been since purchased by Lord Morton. The Lords found, that by the alienation and the Crown charters it was dissolved from the regality, and that the privilegium regalitatis could not pass with it, and though it now was again purchased the regality did not revive.
