PRAYERS.
Judges Report on Commissioners forseited Estates Appeals, &c. delivered.
This Day the Judges delivered in a Report, prepared
by them, upon looking into the Appeals of the Commissioners and Trustees for the forfeited Estates, depending in this House, and into the Exceptions, Answers, and Decrees, in those Causes.
Which was read, as follows:
In Obedience to an Order of this most Honourable
House, of the Seventeenth of February last, whereby
it was referred to us, to look into the Appeals of the
Commissioners and Trustees for the forfeited Estates,
now depending before this most Honourable House,
and into the Exceptions, Answers, and Decrees, in
those Causes; and to report the State of such of them
wherein we conceive the Lords of Session have no
Jurisdiction: We have looked into the several following Appeals of the said Commissioners and Trustees, now depending before this House; and into the
Exceptions, Answers, and Decrees, in those Cases:
And the State of them, as to the Jurisdiction of the
Lords of Session, appears to us to be as follows:
(fn. 1) Commissioners, &c. versus Martin of Harwood.
The Exceptant has not set forth, in his Exceptions,
That the forfeiting Person was not seised or possessed
of, or interested in, or entitled unto, the Estate of
Seaforth, otherwise than by Relation to the Act of
Parliament 5to Georgii, for enlarging the Time to
determine Claims, and to his Writings produced as
the Grounds of his Exceptions; and it does not appear by the said Writings, that the Exceptant's Right
was such as to exclude the forfeiting Person from the
Possession of the said Estate: And therefore, we are
of Opinion, the Lords of Session had no Jurisdiction
in this Case.
Commissioners, &c.versus Lord Bargany and Jolly.
The Exceptants do not deny the actual Possession
of the Person attainted; but object to the Right by
which he did possess; and found their Exception on
an Apprising without Possession; which was proper
before the Commissioners, and therefore not within
the Jurisdiction of the Lords of Session.
Commissioners, &c. versus Sir James Stewart.
The Exception of Sir James Stewart is of the same
Nature with the foregoing Exception of the Lord
Bargany; and therefore not within the Jurisdiction of
the Lords of Session.
Commissioners, &c. versus Colin Mackenzie.
By the Exception of Mr. Colin Mackenzie to the
Estate of Coull, it appears, that the forfeiting Person was seised and possessed of the said Lands and
Estate on the 24th of June 1715; and therefore the
Lords of Session had no Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus Maule.
"The Exception of Mr. Hary Maule to the Estate
of Balumby is of the same Nature with the above
Exception of Mr. Colin Mackenzie; and therefore the
Lords of Session had no Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus Stewart of Ardvorlick.
"The Exceptant does not pretend that he was in
Possession of the Lands in Question, nor that the
forfeiting Person was not in Possession, on the 24th
of June 1715; but founds his Exception on an Adjudication; which was proper before the Commissioners;
and therefore the Lords of Session had no Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus Bayne.
"The Exceptant does not pretend that he was in
Possession of the Estate in Question on the 24th of
June 1715, nor that the forfeiting Person was not in
Possession on the said Day; and therefore we are
of Opinion, the Lords of Session had no Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus Forbes.
"It does not appear, by any Evidence brought by
the Exceptant, that the forfeiting Person was ousted
of Possession, or that the Exceptant was in Possession,
on the 24th of June 1715; and therefore we are
humbly of Opinion, the Lords of Session had no Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus Lady Mary Hamilton.
"The Exceptant does not, by the Exception, deny
that the forfeiting Person was, on the 24th of June
1715, possessed of the Lands in Question; but objects to the Sufficiency of the Rights by which he
was in Possession, which was proper before the Commissioners; and therefore we are of Opinion, the
Lords of Session had no Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus Craiengelt.
"The Exceptant does not, by his Exceptions, pretend that none of the forfeiting Persons was seised
of, interested in, or entitled unto, the Estate in
Question, on the 24th of June 1715; nor do the
Writings, Instructions, and Evidences, upon which
he founds his Exceptions, establish such a Right in
the Exceptant to the said Lands, as is exclusive of
the Right of attainted Persons; but claims upon an
Adjudication on which no Charter or Enfeosment had
followed; and such Claim was proper before the
Commissioners; and therefore, in our Opinion, the
Lords of Session had no Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus Patrick Carquharson.
"The Exceptant sets forth, in his Exceptions, that
he was seised and possessed of the Lands and Estate
of Inveray on the 24th of June 1715; and that none
of the attainted Persons was seised or possessed of the
same; and the Commissioners, in their Answers, do
not deny that Patrick Farquharson, the Exceptant,
was seised and possessed as above; and therefore
we are of Opinion, that the Lords of Session had
Jurisdiction in this Case.
Commissioners, &c. versus Donald Mackenzie.
"By the Exception it appears, that the Exceptant
was seised and possessed of the Lands of Kilcowie on
the 24th of June 1715; and it is not denied by the
Commissioners: But the Question being, Whether
the Exceptant was attainted or not; we are of Opinion, the Lords of Session had Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus Donald Mac Donald.
"By the Exception it appears, that the Father of
the Exceptant, under whom he claims as Heir, was
seised and possessed of the Lands in Question on the
24th of June 1715; which is not denied by the Commissioners: But the Question being, Whether the said
Father of the Exceptant was attainted or not; we
are of Opinion, the Lords of Session had Jurisdiction.
Commissioners, &c. versus John Hog.
"The Exceptant pretends, that he was, on the 24th
of June 1715, sole seised and possessed of, interested
in, and entitled unto, the Estate in Question; and
that the Persons attainted, mentioned in the Exception, were not on the said Day seised or possessed of,
or interested in, or entitled unto, the same; and the
Instructions and Writings, on which he founds his
Exceptions, have all the Formalities of Disposition,
Charter, Enfeofment, or Livery of Seisin and Possession, required by Law, to perfect a Right of Property in the Person of the Exceptant: But the Disposition is subject to Objections, importing a Desiciency
of Right in the Disponer, which were proper to be
heard and determined by the Lords of Session; and
therefore we are of Opinion, that they had Jurisdiction
in this Case.
Commissioners, &c. versus Stewart of Grantully.
"As to the Lands of Gaskinhall, it appears, that the
Exception is founded on a Disposition, or Deed of
Conveyance, of the Fee and Inheritance of the Lands
in Question, from the forfeiting Person to the Exceptant, dated the Eighteenth of March 1708, and
Eleventh of August 1709; and on an Assignment of
an Estate for Life in the said Lands, from the
Mother of the attainted Person also to the Exceptant, dated the Seventh of October 1712, both for
valuable Considerations: It is contended, on Behalf
of the Exceptant, "That the Possession and whole
Right, Title, and Interest, to the said Lands, was
conveyed, by Virtue of the aforesaid Deed and Assignment, to the Exceptant; and that the forfeiting Person was not, on the 24th of June 1715, interested in,
or entitled unto, the said Estate, either as to the Right
of Property or Possession; but that the Exceptant was
entitled unto, interested in, and possessed of, the said
Estate:" It is also contended on the Part of the Commissioners, "That, the aforesaid Conveyance not having
been entered on Record, and no Surrender, Charter,
Enfeofment, or Livery of Seisin, having followed
upon it, the forfeiting Person did remain vested and
seised by Charter and Enfeofment of the said Lands,
subject to the said Estate for Life; and that, notwithstanding of the said Conveyance of the Fee and Inheritance, the forfeiting Person was, on the 24th of
June 1715, interested in the said Estate, in so far as
he might have made a Second Disposition in Favour
of any Person, who upon his Enfeofment would have
carried the Right to the Lands, to the Exclusion of
the Exceptant; yea, the forfeiting Person's Creditors might, by Diligence subsequent to the said Conveyance, have carried the Right to the Lands, in Bar
of the Exceptant's Title."
If, in Virtue of the Conveyance of the Fee and Inheritance, together with the said Assignment, to the
Estate for Life, the Exceptant was seised and possessed of the said Estate in the full Right, so as that
the forfeiting Person was, after the said Deeds, neither
seised nor possessed of, nor interested in, nor entitled
unto, the said Estates, the Lords of Session had Jurisdiction: But if the forfeiting Person, notwithstanding the said Deed, remained seised of the said Estate,
or interested in the same; then the Lords of Session
had, in our Opinion, no Jurisdiction: But, as to that
it depends upon the Laws of Scotland, in which we
are not knowing; we submit it to your Lordships.
Commissioners, &c. versus Stewart of Grantully.
"As to the Lands of Waterstoun, this Exception
being founded on a Deed of the same Nature with
that upon which the above Exception to the Lands
of Gaskinball is founded; we are of the same Opinion
as to the Jurisdiction of the Court of Session; and
submit it to your Lordships."
Causes to be heard.
Ordered, That the several Causes mentioned in the
said Report, wherein the Judges conceive the Lords
of Session in Scotland had no Jurisdiction, be heard the
same Day the other Causes of the like Nature stand
appointed to be heard.
L. Wenman versus Sir William Osbaldeston & al.:
After hearing Counsel, upon the amended Petition
and Appeal of Richard Lord Wenman, Viscount Tuam,
Baron of Kilmanum, in the Kingdom of Ireland; complaining of several Orders and Proceedings of the Court
of Chancery, of the Thirteenth of October 1716, of the
Twelfth and Seven and Twentieth of November, Fourteenth and Eighteenth of December last, in a Cause
wherein Sir William Osbaldeston Baronet and Dame
Catherine his Wife, John Churchil Wicksted and Mary
his Wife, and others, were Plaintiffs, and the Appellant
Defendant; and praying, "That the said Orders and
Proceedings, whereby the Appellant's Motions and
Offers for adjusting and Payment of the Plaintiffs
Demand have been denied or rejected; and whereby the Appellant was ordered to stand committed,
his Estate to be sequestered, may be reversed, and the
Appellant relieved:" As also upon the Answers of
the said Sir William Osbaldeston and Dame Catherine his
Wife, John Churchil Wicksted and Mary his Wife, put
in to the said Appeal; and due Consideration had of
what was offered on either Side in the said Cause:
Affirmed, with Directions.
It is Ordered and Adjudged, by the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said
several Orders complained of by the said Appeal,
whereby the Appellant was ordered to stand committed,
and his Estate was ordered to be sequestered, and also
the Sequestration issued in Pursuance thereof, be, and
the same are hereby, affirmed, with this further Order,
That it be, and is hereby, referred to the Master, to
compute what is due to the Respondents Sir William
Osbaldeston and Dame Catherine his Wife, for Principal and Interest of the Portion of the said Dame
Catherine, and to tax them their Costs of this Suit;
and, upon the Appellant's bringing before the Master
the Principal Money so found due, in order to be paid
as the Court of Chancery shall direct, and paying to
Sir William Osbaldeston what shall be due for Interest
and Costs, the said Appellant may be at Liberty to apply to the said Court to discharge the said Sequestration,
giving Notice thereof to the Respondents John Churchil
Wicksted and his Wife, and other Persons interested in
her Portion.

left your Petitioner and her Sisters his Coheirs. And
your said Petitioner being, by the several Deaths of all
her Sisters without Issue of their Bodies respectively,
become the sole surviving Heir to the aforesaid Title
and Barony of Berners, as also to the Lands and
Seigniories thereunto belonging;
"Your Petitioner therefore most humbly prays
Your Majesty, That Your Majesty will be
graciously pleased to declare, allow, and confirm, the aforesaid Barony of Berners unto
her the said Catharine, in Fee, with all such
