The Lords, at the instance of a minister against the parishioners, decerned for a yearly sum out of each weaver's loom, and for the salt made in the parish, though these were decimæ industriales, in respect of 40 years possession, which at least is required where teinds are only due locally, et per consuetudinem; but in the usual teindable species, such as lamb, wool, &c. triennalis et decennalis possessio is sufficient, which difference is observable.
Fol. Dic. v. 2. 114. Stair. Fount.
