A contract being made by the Laird of Lundy, whereby he bound him to suffer a Smith to bruik a piece of his land during his life-time, he working the smith-work of Lundy, as well in shoeing of his horses as making and mending the plough’s graith, it was found to be a lawful tack; and that his work was merces locationis, and sufficient to maintain him in possession against a singular successor, viz. Sir James Sundy.
