The right in virtue of which Mr Ingram was admitted to the roll of freeholders in the county of Renfrew, was a naked liferent of superiority, created only a few years before. The feu-duty did not exceed ten shillings, and the casualties were taxed at double the feu-duty.
The Lords, on a complaint, preferred in the name of John Campbell, and others, “found, That the freeholders did wrong in admitting Mr Ingram to the roll, and ordered his name to be expunged.”
