Churchmens' titles are presumed, where there has been long and ancient possession, if possibly they could have a title; and therefore a duty of 81 bolls of wheat bear and oats being payable to the Priory of Charter-House at Perth, and now to the Minister of Errol and Castle of Edinburgh, the heritor brought a valuation of his teinds, when they were valued at 36 bolls; and then insisting to have the 81 bolls restricted to 36. The Lords found the 81 bolls were payable as well out of the temporality as the spirituality, though there was pretty strong evidence that the land never was kirk-lands, since there might have been a mortification out of them.
