In an action of spuilyie pursued by the Earl of Cassils against the Laird of Lochinvar, of the place and fruits of the abbacy of Glenluce; the Earl having founded his claim upon a tack and assedation of the same,—the Lords ordained him to produce his tack before the defender should answer to his claim. Et quamvis, in interdicto recuperandæ possessionis, (vel spoilt actione,) satis sit probare possessionem, et violentam ejectionem: Item, tenrant DD. quod narratio proprietatis, facta in libello possessorio, non arctet libellantem ad probandum proprietatem. Tamen, in hoc casu, bene judicatum a Dominis; quia, in casu nostro, dictus Comes rerum ecclesiasticarum et possessionum earundem erat omnino incapax, nisi habuisset titulum aliquem, saltern coloratum, quem titulum prius ostendere debuit, antequam restitutionem possessionis petere posset de jure. Et hoc plene in Decis.
