A freeholder is entitled to be enrolled upon the right of apparency, though he has already made up his titles; for the privilege of being enrolled immediately, is given to heirs, not because they are in the state of apparency, but because it seems reasonable that they should have the same right to vote as their predecessor, though they should not have made up a proper feudal title; and the act 1681, when giving that privilege to heirs, could not with propriety mention any other but apparent heirs; because, as the law then stood, even a singular successor was entitled to be enrolled as soon as he was infeft.
