Langton had been part of the regality of Morton, but had been sold off cum privilegio regalitatis, and charters granted in these terms by the Crown, and since purchased back by the family of Morton. We found, that the alienation dissolved the regality, and that the privilegium regalitatis could not pass with the lands to the purchaser without a new erection, and that Earl of Morton's purchasing them back could not revive again the regality as to these lands.
