Ker, having comprised the lands of Smeaton Spittell from the Laird of Coldingknowes, pursues the tenants for removing. Compears John Boswell of Pittedie, for his interest; and alleges, That he is heritably infeft in the said lands, and in possession, by uplifting of twenty shillings, more or less, from the tenant. It is answered, That the alleged possession is but simulate, in so far as the lands are worth five hundred merks by year, and the collusion thereby is manifest betwixt Pittedie and the tenant. The Lords repelled the exception, in respect of the evidences of simulation and collusion.
