A pursuit for teinds. Alleged the acres were of old a vicar's glebe, which by the Canon law paid no teind. Answered, Although they were free of the vicar's possession, yet they cannot plead exemption in a laick's, and the 62d Act, Parl. 5. James 6th, (1578) mentions not vicar's glebes. The Lords sustained the allegeance, unless the pursuer would prove they had paid teind within these forty years. It would not hold in vicar's lands, for they have no such privilege.
