A Barony was found not entitled to a proportion of the commonty corresponding to the valuation of the whole Barony, which often comprehends not only lands discontiguous and lying at great distances from each other,
but also often subjects of their own nature not capable of a share of a commonty, as rights of annualrent, servitudes, patronages, jurisdictions, fishings, mills, &c. but only to a proportion corresponding to the valuation of that part of the Barony that was in use to possess the commonty. (See Dict. No. 12. p. 2479.) See Notes.
