Prescription of land-rents runs, notwithstanding the master was debtor to the tenant during the five years in another debt, wherein these debts might
have been compensated, and that debt so far extinguished; yet the prescription runs of the rents, and the master cannot plead compensation unless he prove resting owing by oath. Vide 5th July 1681, Dickson against Macauley, (Dict. No. 288. p. 11090.)
