A decreet being obtained for the demolishing of a dovecote upon a new foundation, because the builder had not ten chalders of victual, conform to the act of Parliament; the Lords found, that the party was not obliged to demolish the dovecote, seeing the house might be employed to some other use; but decerned the defender to build up the head of the dovecote, so as doves could not enter, and to continue it so till he acquired an estate conform to the act of Parliament. Here the dove-house did not consist of a few holes, which are usual on the top of another house, but contained five or six hundred holes.
Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 251. Harcarse, (Decreets) No 401. p. 106.
