We determined two general points on which many claims depended, after full hearings at the Bar and memorials; viz. 1mo, That the positive prescription was sufficient to sustain all heritable jurisdictions, whether Sheriffships or regalities, though granted after the acts of James II. in 1455;
2do, That ratifications in Parliament were sufficient to sustain regalities, though created after these acts. But the Bar did not insist for our judgment with respect to ratifications of Sheriffships, because they were all safe by prescription.
