Found that ward-lands being feued out before the year 1633, by the King's vassal for a competent avail, conform to act of Parliament, the act of Parliament was equivalent to a confirmation, and ought to defend the sub-vassal against the forfeiture of the immediate superior, as well as against ward and recognition. And in Lauderdale's case, the vassal was obliged to prove, that the lands were feued for a competent avail, and not the superior or donatar that it was incompetent.
Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 295. Harcarse (Forfeiture.) No 494. p. 136.
