Irritancy of a feu ob non solutum canonem, where the irritancy was, “if twelve terms feu-duty should run together unpaid:” The defender produced several instruments at different terms, bearing offer of the feu-duty, but so defective that they could not be regarded: But the superior, after all these instruments, having written to the vassal dispensing with his making a tender of the feu-duty at that term, and offering to enter him on certain terms;—that was thought to be an acknowledging him as vassal, and dispensing with the defects of the former tenders;—and therefore the Lords found the irritancy not incurred. (See Dict. No. 67. p. 7235.)
