Robert Scot pursuing a poinding of the ground, for an annual-rent, Silvertounhill compeared, and alleged possession, by virtue of a prior annual-rent, and that the pursuer's infeftment was base, not clad with possession. For proving possession, Robert Scot produced discharges granted by the, annual-renter to the heritor for the time, for himself, and in name of the tenants, which had witnesses, but designed not the writer's name; and being alleged to be null for want thereof;
The Lords ordained Scot to condescend upon the writer of the discharge in respect the annual-rent did extend to £80. and it did prefer one annual-rent to another.
