Held, that this was not perfect registration of the entail, and that the charter was not the original entail, but the procuratory. Held, circumstances not sufficient to set aside a decree of sale impugned on fraud. Held that a general and special charge, as the warrants of an adjudication cannot be called on after 20 years.
