ter feems fo reafonable, that it is highly probable the Houfe of Peers 

 would not refule its aflent to it. 



The Scotch Teind Court, it is believed, alfo, for a confiderable 

 time, held it as law, that if they had once fixed to the clergyman 

 of any parilh a fufficient augmented income, they had it not in 

 their power to incrcafe the llipend again in the fame parifh. That 

 opinion has been got over, and it were to be widied the other 

 matter of old valuations were alfo reconfidered. 



When a clergyman applies to the Court of Teinds for an aug- 

 mcutation of his living, the teinds in the hands of a lay titular, 

 wncn thefe are not exhaufted by his former ilipend, fall firft to 

 be allocated to him ; and if the titular has let thefe teinds to the 

 proprietor of the lands from which they are payable, in leafe or 

 tack, the tack-duty falls to be allocated to the clergymen. This 

 fort is called the free teinds. Where the tack-duty falls fhort, the 

 tack itfelf is burdened, or, in other words, the furplus teinds over 

 and above the tack-duty. Where this likewife proves deficient, 

 the allocation to the clergyman falls on the proprietors who have 

 purchafed their teinds ; unlefs the titular, by his conveyance to 

 the proprietor, had declared that he warranted his grant againft 

 future augmentations ; in which cafe the teinds of the lands, be- 

 longing in property to the titular himfelf, mufl be allocated in the 

 firft place. Where there is a fufficiency of free teinds in a parifh, 

 the titular may allocate any of them he thinks fit for the minifter's 

 ftipend. Minifters' glebes are free from teind, and alfo thofe 

 lands of which churchmen, in times of Popery, had been pro- 

 prietors ; alfo fuch as they had feued or fold to laymen, with a 

 claufe declaring their right both to flock and teind.

I AM rather at a lofs to point out the mofl profitable mode 

 of breaking up the old grafs-land for tillage, not as to the ge- 

 neral principle, but merely in fome particular circumftances, as 

 there are fome crops grown in your neighbourhood with which 

 I am unacquainted. Perhaps it ought firfl to be paired and 

 burnt, that followed by a crop of rape allowed to ripen its feed,
