Alexander Mew
v.
Mr Patrick Craw
1683 .November .Click here to view a pdf copy of this documet : PDF Copy
Found, that the ten years allowed to creditors for redeeming the rights of apprising acquired by apparent heirs, run not from the date of the rights, where they are latent or in trust, but from the time the apparent heir made them public by infeftment, or some judicial process; for, otherwise, the Act of Parliament might be easily eluded: and here the apparent heir had been several years in possession after his predecessor's death, which might have given some suspicion to the creditor; and it was ten years since the date of the latent right; but the same was never owned till the elapsing of ten years. Vide No. 340, [Young Posso against his Brothers, 31st January 1682.]
Page 69, No. 294.
