It was debated if the liferent-escheat of a second appriser, not infeft, falls to the King, or to the superior of the apprised lands; seeing, fictione juris, if he be within year and day, he is reputed as infeft with the first appriser, and the first appriser's would fall to the superior of the respective apprised lands; ergo likewise the second. But it was thought that the King's right would preponderate this fiction.
