[Fac. Coll. II, No. 63.]
In this case the Lords found, that a man, who was called to a tailyied succession as heir-male of the last heir, might serve himself heir-male to such last heir in the lands ; and by such service he would not be liable universally as an heir-male, but only liable as an heir of tailyie, although he was not served heir-male of tailyie, but simply heir-male, and although in his retour none of
the limitations of the entail were inserted, nor all the substitutions, but only such as were necessary to connect his title to the lands. This carried only by the President's casting vote; dissent. Prestongrange, Kilkerran, Milton, Bankton.
