“The Lords were of opinion that a glebe, having been designed and possessed for 40 years, an heritor cannot challenge the possession as being beyond the dimensions of a glebe; but that encroachments made by the present incumbent must be deducted; and they remitted to the Ordinary to inquire into and ascertain the quantity,”—varying the interlocutor of Lord Monboddo.
