The point was here stated, How far a tack of a salt-pan for the term of 15 years, descends to heirs, though not expressed.
It came in by a bill of suspension of a decree of the Sheriff of Haddington, decerning the heir to remove, at the instance of a purchaser; which the Ordinary on the bills having refused, the defender reclaimed.
And, upon advising the petition and answers, it having been observed, That the interlocutor of the Sheriff is agreeable to the only decisions upon record, which are two above a century ago; and that there being no decision on the point since, it may be considered as a new case; the Lords, without declaring any opinion upon the point, ‘ Remitted to the Ordinary to pass the bill.’
