[Fac. Coll. IX. 349; Dict. 16,070.]

Braxfield. Supposing the lands to have been originally thirled, the charter 1517 imported a discharge. It makes no difference that, in 1734, that discharge is not repeated; for there was no need of continuing an exception once granted. I should have had a doubt whether paying in-town multures for 40 years would have been sufficient,—but there is no proof of that.

On the 21st July 1785, “The Lords declared immunity, and found expenses due.”

For Mein, R. Cullen.

Alt. R. Dundas.

Concluded cause.
