Lands mortified to a college, and afterwards alienated, give a qualification; and it is no objection, even upon the act 1681, that they hold neither ward, feu, nor blench; for, besides temporal lands of those different tenures, that statute expressly mentions church-lands; and mortified lands fall under that very predicament. Much less can any difficulty arise from the 16th Geo. II. which specifies no particular tenure, but bears in general ‘lands holden of the King or Prince.’
