A liferentrix died in the natural possession of a mains in July 1741, whereby her executors had right to that crop of corn, and reaped it; and the fiar sued them for the Martinmas half year's rent. Lord Tinwald found them liable; but on a reclaiming bill we found them not liable for any rent for the crop of corn to which the relict had right; though if the executors reaped any grass, we thought they might be liable for the grass in valorem.—Unanimously adhered.
