The designation of a minister's glebe being quarrelled as half an acre more than the four allowed by law;
Alleged for the minister; That he and his predecessors had been thirteen years in possession.
Answered; Decennalis et triennalis possessio non relevat in petitorio; 2do, This presumptive title cedit veritati; for the true title being the designation of a glebe, which, according to law, should consist of four acres; if upon measuring half an acre more appear to have been designed, the designation is null. The Lords, before answer, ordained the land to be measured.
