Home of Wedderburn, having acquired a comprising, led against his estate, by Mr Alexander Spottiswood, he pursues Home of Kimmergham for the teinds of his lands. Alledged, You have no title to my teinds; in so far as your comprising is allenarly of the lands and mill, and makes no mention of the teinds. Answered, It needs not; for teinds, being an inferior right, are carried with the lands; especially, seeing the comprising bears all right, interest, and claim of right, petitory, or possessory: And Stair observes, That, on the 27th of February 1672, Scot against Muirhead, (See Teinds) in a voluntary sale, where the disposition bore only the lands, yet the Lords extended it to the teinds also. Replied, That there were sundry specialties in this case; for he was burdened with L. 30 of teind-duty to the minister; and yet the Lords allowed the defender to be reponed, he repaying the price, cum omni causa. Dirleton likewise states this question, voce Teinds; but leaves it undecided. The Lords found this comprising did not extend to the teinds, nor comprehend the same, under the general denomination of lands, et omne jus, &c.; which is but an extension of style, ampliating the right to the lands, and goes no farther.
