M'Leod of Cadboll stood enrolled on his whole estate valued in the books of supply at L. 1361: 103. In the view of creating freehold qualifications, he obtained a division of this cumulo valuation, and granted a feu of the whole to separate the superiority from the property. He then obtained a charter on his own resignation, and granted wadsets of the superiority to some, and conveyonces of different parts in liferent to others, and to himself in fee, the lands of which he retained the fee appearing from the division to be valued at L. 532: 6: 4. The freeholders struck him off the roll, in respect of this alteration of his circumstances; but the Lords ordered him to be re-placed. See Appendix.
