Sicklike, Robert Arbuthnot of Findowry, assignee constituted to the tack of teinds of Fairniflet, pursued Patrick Lighton, provost of Montrose, for spuilyie, as intromittor with the duties, both stock and teind. Alleged, His uplifting of the mails and duties from the tenants, made him not a spulyier, because he uplifted only the ordinary fruits, whereof they were in use of payment divers years before to his author: However, the Lords sustained the summons to be proven, prout de jure; with this caution, that it should not infer a spuilyie, but only wrongous intromission.
