The Lords haying in July last found even the annexed property prescriptible by the positive prescription, but that Earl of Galloway had actually acquired right by prescription; they this day unanimously adhered. The question was concerning the heritable office of Bailie of regality of Whitehorn, comprehended under the general annexation in 1587, but disponed to Lord Garlies by the Crown in 1588. The cause was given for: the Earl on several other grounds all separately determined, but this only I mention being a general point of law.
