In a pursuit upon the passive title of successor titulo lucrativo, in so far as the defender had a disposition from his father, without an onerous cause, the Lords sustained the pursuit, albeit it was alleged by the defender, he had made no use of the said disposition, and was content to renounce the same; which the Lords found he could not do, being delivered to him. A concluded cause advised.

Clerk, Mr Thomas Hay. Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 38. Dirleton, No 377. p. 184.
