Found, That although the most ewest kirk-lands, where there was no glebe before, might be designed; yet that the houses upon that kirk-land could not be claimed by the minister, if these houses never belonged to any incumbent before, because there was no foundation in any statute for such a demand; and therefore that the minister had nothing left but either to deal with the parish to build him a manse, or pursue them for the same, or build it himself, the expenses whereof would be refunded to his executors by the next intrant, conform to the act of Parliament.
