Lord Montgomery, as superior, craved a year's rent of the adjudger. It was alleged, The adjudication was before the 18th Act of Parliament 1669, ordaining adjudgers to pay a year's rent; and therefore it must be presumed not to be due before, seeing laws are only made to regulate future cases; and it was found casus de industria omissus in the Act of Parliament 1621, as Balmanno observes, voce Adjudications.
The Lords found a year's rent not due by adjudgers before the Act 1669.
