Mr William Steel, Minister of Heriot, applied to the Presbytery for a designation of grass, and obtained it out of the ground belonging to Sir William Dalrymple; who suspended, for that the designation was exorbitant in quantity; and condescended on a piece of ground more proper for the purpose.

After a good deal of procedure, the Lords remitted to two of their number to view the ground, and report; which they did, that the ground designed was insufficient and improper; and pitched on another piece of Sir William's ground, as proper.

The Lords approved of the report, and, without remitting to the Presbytery, decerned the ground to belong to the Minister.

Act. D. Dalrymple. Alt. Brown. Fol. Dic. v. 3. p. 350. Falconer, v. 2. No. 209. p. 252.
