Charles Mercer, Esq, of Letbindy v Rev Mr Williamson: HL 17 Mar 1786

Manse – Building or Repairing. – Held, where the presbytery had ordered an old manse to be pulled down, and a new one built, that they were not precluded from doing so, though the old manse might be repaired at a less expense than the cost of a new one; and also held, that they were not limited by the act 1663 to the sum of andpound;1000 Scots, (andpound;83. 6 s. 8 d.) but entitled to go beyond it, whatever the expense of building might be.
