The Duke of Montrose having, with the design of creating freehold-qualifications, parcelled out the superiorities of certain lands, belonging in property to Sir James Colquhoun, among fourteen different persons, by granting them liferent-rights, the Lords reduced these rights, in an action at the vassal's instance, on the ground of the prejudice he sustained from the undue multiplication of superiors.
