A letter being addressed to an heritor, who was minor at the time, by a former tenant, agreeing to become bound to accept of a tack of the same farm, for thirteen years, and to pay a rent which was acknowledged to exceed the old rent in two particulars, viz. eight feet of peats, and a stone of butter; this was found equivalent, against the heritor, to a tack, though the letter bore no date; because it was proved, by the heritor’s declaration, that the date of the letter was five years before; and though his curator was not present at receiving the letter, yet he himself became major soon after, and received the additional rent contained in the letter for four years; during which time, as he acknowledged, the tenant possessed upon no other title than the letter.
