Southdun was refused by the heritors to be enrolled in 1744, and complained to us, but observing that the evidence of his valuation was not clear, did not insist, but applied
again to be enrolled in 1749, after getting the valuation of his lands properly divided, and was refused, and complained again to us; and a question occurred, Whether a person refused by one Michaelmas meeting, can on the same title be received by another? and on that point we differed. Kilkerran thought he could not, and I thought he could, but we waved the question, and joined the two complaints; and found the petitioner entitled to Be enrolled. Then the defender demanded expenses, because they could not enrol after a former meeting had refused; but we found them not entitled to any expenses.
