The Laird of Rowallan intents a declarator against the relict and bairns of Boyde,—who had a tack of him for all the days of his lifetime, for payment of six pounds and his personal service on horseback when he should be required,—to hear and see them decerned to remove. The tacksman deceased about Martinmas. It was excepted by the defenders, That, seeing the defunct was tacksman, his relict and bairns could not be removed but a warning. It was replied, That, seeing liferenters by infeftment may be removed immediately after their deccase, much more a tacksman. The Lords found the exception relevant.
