One infeft feu in lands, which pertained once in burgage to a town, pursuing a removing against some burgesses, it was objected, That his title was null, by the 36th act, Parliament 1491, and by act 185th, Parliament 1593, which statutes, that the burghs may not set their common-good for longer space than three years.
