| Magistrates of Perth v. Andrew | 1797 | Tack, Rent, Lease, Mala Fides, tenant, Possession | The Magistrates of Perth sought John Andrew’s removal from leased lands following the expiration of his lease, while Andrew claimed that permission from his brother to cultivate adjacent land constituted tacit consent to his continued possession. After Lord Armadale pronounced an interlocutor against him, Andrew petitioned the Court to alter that decision, prompting the Magistrates and Town-Council of Perth, along with Charles Bruce as Treasurer, to answer his petition and defend against the charge of horning. |
| Scott v. Brodie | 1802 | Possession, tenant | John Scott purchased a farm in Ormiston, which was in possession of Mr. Brodie, as a tenant. As a result of landlord petitions, the Lord Ordinary issued a bill of suspension an interdict against the tenant. Parties discussed if Mr. Brodie was entitled to an away-going crop of that land or if the petitioner was entitled to the value of the crop, without allowance for feed and labour. |
