| Heritors and Patrons of Lochell and Cushny v. Gordon and Reverend of Alford | 1794 | Teinds, Heritor, Stipend, Presbytery, Succession, Manse | The heritors and patrons of Lochell and Cushny pursued an action against Gordon and the Reverend of Alford seeking to annex the parish of Lochell to Cushny, arguing that the union was necessary to relieve their financial burden and provide adequate stipend and accommodation for the minister. The proprietor of the lands of Linturk maintained that the proposed annexation should not impose immediate expense upon him without future equivalent. The dispute presented the question of whether the annexation could proceed without subjecting individual proprietors to such immediate burdens. |
| The Minister of the Parish of Falkland v. David Johnston and Others | 1792 | Teinds, Contract, Heritor, Glebe, Presbytery, Manse | The Minister of the Parish of Falkland, represented by the Reverend Mr Andrew Brown, petitioned the Court to alter its recent interlocutor regarding a manse-glebe exchange originally concluded in 1650. David Johnston, Captain Mungo Law, and their co-defenders answered, resisting the petition and maintaining the validity of the exchange, which had been upheld for more than a century. |
