132 CASEjOF THE POST-NATI OF SCOTLAND. 



&quot; turn corporis corporati,&quot; it is but as a stock to 

 uphold and bear out the corporate body ; but other 

 wise it is in the case of the crown, as shall be

 &quot; usus scaccarii,&quot; as there is said, accordingly. And 

 the reason is no other but because when a man
