Sir Archibald Grant complained that this meeting had enrolled Abernethy of Crimonmoggat as apparent-heir though he lodged no claim for being enrolled with the Sheriff-clerk as the act 16th Geo. II. directs. Mr Craigie for the respondent gave up the point; yet two of the Judges seemed disposed to dismiss the claim; but the rest of the Court were unanimous, and without a vote or almost any argument ordered him to be expunged.
He also complained of Sir Alexander Gordon of Lessmore being enrolled notwithstanding that in his claim that he lodged the valuation of his land was left blank contrary to the statute. This complaint we also sustained without a vote, and ordered him to be expunged.
