The Laird of Cragyhall having analyied certain lands to B. under reversion; as he was pursuing a declarator of redemption, and had consigned the money, it happened, at the burning of Edinburgh, that this reversion was lost;—then Cragyhall summoned B. to hear and see the tenor of the reversion proven by witnesses; which he having sufficiently proven, and obtained decreet thereupon, and letters in four forms, he charged B. to make him a new reversion conform to the old; which he refusing to do, disobeyed the charge, and passed to the horn. Then Cragyhall called him before the Lords, either to make him a new reversion, or else to hear and see it decerned by the Lords, that the first decreet should have the strength and force of a reversion, and be as sufficient to redeem the said lands, as if it were a sufficient reversion made by the defender. Which the Lords sustained.
