The Court of Session had affirmed the judgment of the freeholders, sustaining this objection to a claim of enrolment, That in virtue of a claim of dispensation similar to the above, in the case of Ogilvie, No 169, infeftment had been taken at a place not within the lands conveyed.
After the judgment of the House of Lords in the case of Ogilvie, the claimant was enrolled upon a new application.
The Court of Session found that the first decree was a res judicata, and appointed him to be expunged; but the House of Lords, 5th March 1770, reversed both judgments.
