A tack set by the College of Aberdeen of a part of the Dourie, is sought to be reduced for want of the consent of the Chapter. It is alleged by the tacksman, that seeing the Dourie was mortified by the King to the College, it became of the nature of the rest of the College rents, and might as well be set in tack by the members of the College without consent of the Chapter, as the rest of the College rents. The Lords repelled the allegeance, and found the mortification of it could not change the nature of the Dourie, except it had been per expressum that the College had power to set tacks thereof without consent of the Chapter.
