In a valuation of teinds the lands were under a long tack, which expired in the year 1763, for payment of 600 merks of tack-duty, for stock and teind ; but the lands were subset for twenty years for 1000 merks ; and there was no doubt but the lands would set at the same rate, or a higher, upon the expiration of the lease. Nevertheless, the Lords unanimously found, that “ the constant fixed rent which the lands pay or may pay,” in terms of the Act of Parliament, was the rent paid to the master, viz. 600 merks.
