[See page 453.]
In the process at Watsone's instance against Halyburtounes, as intromitters with the goods and gear of umquhile Andrew Brand,—the defenders strove to purge their vitious intromission by the gift of escheat of the said Andrew, purchased long after; alleging, That they could not be called as intromitters with the goods of the said Andrew, since he had none but those which were the King's, incontinent after his rebellion; the letters of horning bearing expressly, that the escheat-goods and rebel's moveables should be incontinent brought after the rebellion. It was replied, That could hardly be sustained, before gift and general declarator, in prejudice of lawful creditors; and practicks were craved to be sought out, and especially anent the purging of vitious intromission by such a supervenient title, sundry years after the said intromission.
