As a factor on a sequestrated estate ought to have all the powers of a proprietor infeft, in order to enable him to manage it to the best advantage, the Lords found that he had power to remove tenants even possessing upon tacks set by the former proprietor; 11 New Coll., 41. They were of the same opinion, Carlyle, Factor on the Estate of Kilhead, against Lowther. In this case it was allowed that the Court could authorise a factor to remove tenants; but it was contended that it required a special power and instruction from the Court,—and did not fall under the expression “usual powers.”
