Mr. Thomas Goodwilly, schoolmaster of Strathmiglo, against Skeen of Hallyards, for a mortification out of the lands of Pitcairn of Pitlowr, which Hallyards had bought.
The Lords found, though it was clad with forty years possession, yet it was not real, nor of the nature of a servitude to affect the ground of Pitlowr against a singular successor.
