A large tract of ground round the village of Inveresk belonged to many proprietors, whose properties lay run-rig. James Milne was proprietor of part of the run-rig lands, and particularly of six acres lying together in an oblong form.
Some of the proprietors having brought an action of division of these grounds, upon the act of King William anent run-rig, James Milne opposed the division as to his six acres which lay together; and objected, That the act was confined to the division of grounds lying in alternate ridges; but could not be extended to several acres of ground lying together.
“The Lords repelled the objection, and ordered the division to proceed.”
