The Laird of Craigivar being heritable Bailie of the regality of Lindores, beyond the Kairn of Mount, pursues the vassals for the fines of the head courts, from which they were absent; they having alleged that Craigivar having disponed their lands to them, to be holden of the King for all right that he had, and they being now the King's vassals, they were thereby exempted from the regality, as effectually as if he had renounced the right of regality as to their lands, or given them right to be Bailies of regality as to their own lands.
The Lords repelled the allegeance as not relevant, and found the disposition the land With all right thereto, could not extend to the regality, except it had been expressed.
Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 492. Stair, v. 2. p. 172.
*** The like was decided 20th February 1733, Hay of Strowie against Creditors of Simpson. See Appendix.
