TeindsTackAlimentPrescriptionStipendSuccessionThe Reverend David Brown, minister of Crailing, pursued Walter Hunter of Polmood regarding the vicarage teinds of Crailing, maintaining that his predecessors had historically drawn these teinds in kind and seeking restoration of that right, including tithe of hay from sown grass. Hunter moved to stay the action until Robert Scott of Trabrown, his author, was made a party to the suit. Brown thereafter petitioned the Court to alter its interlocutor, and Hunter answered, specifically contesting the demand for tithe of hay from sown grass.AI-generated
