Blair v Ramsay and The Alloa Coal Co: HL 22 May 1876

Held that a reservation in a disposition of lands of the coal, with power to work, win, and carry away the same, does not entitle the person in right of the reserved power to use a mine underneath the said lands for the purpose of working coal outwith the boundaries thereof, unless the said mine runs altogether in the coal strata or in the wastes caused by the working out of the coal.
