James Bayn wright, having reclaimed against an interlocutor, finding that wright and mason-work not pursued for within three years, fell within the compass of the triennial prescription, introduced by the 83d act 1579; alleging, That was only in merchants accompts,. and not in such tradesmen's, where the work was durable and permanent for many years; and that rents of lands in the country, and seamens wages, had been found not to be included in that act;—the Lords found no reason of diversity, but that they prescribed as well as other tradesmen's accompts.
