The upper heritors on Lochness pursued the inferior heritors for correcting abuses in their mode of salmon fishing, and particularly the non-observation of the Saturday's slop. Urged in defence, The Saturday's slop had been in disuse in that river for above forty years. The Lords were of opinion, That laws made for the improvement of the salmon fishing cannot be abrogated non utendo; and they ordained the law with regard to the Saturday's slop to be observed in all time to come.
