A reduction and improbation being insisted in in common form, to ascertain the pursuer's property to certain lands, it came out in the course of the process, that he was only superior, and that the defender was his feu-vassal. The Lords found the reduction and improbation a sufficient interruption of the negative prescription of the feu-duties, for majori inest minus, and a claim for the whole rents must be an interruption quoad any part. See Appendix.

Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 127.
