REPORTS OF CASES ON APPEAL FROM SCOTLAND.
Case 77.
v.
Subject_Fiar. —
Forfeiture for Treason.
Another question of the same nature as in the last appeal, arose between the same parties, in regard to the lands of Waterstown. The titles of the respondent to these lands stood in the same situation, as his titles to the lands of Gaskinhall. No cases have been found on the present appeal. That the questions were the same in this and the last appeal, appears from the report of the English Judges on the point of jurisdiction in the Court of Session, (Journal, 11 March 1719–20,) which they left undecided.
The judgment of the Court of Session, in favour of the respondent's predecessor, was pronounced on the 10th of September 1719.
Entered, 21 Dec. 1719.
Judgment, 23 Jan. 1720–21.
The appeal was brought “from an interlocutory sentence or decree of the Lords of Session, of the 10th of September 1719.”
After hearing counsel, It is ordered and adjudged that the said petition and appeal be dismissed, and that the interlocutory sentence or decree therein complained of be affirmed.
