Superior and Vassal – An university having acquired righ to an adjudication of lands, held in ward, for a debt due to them, the Court found that the superior must enter the university, or pay the debt to the extent of the value of the lands: but upon appeal the judgment is reversed; and it is ordered, that the superior should admit such proper person for vassal as the university should nominate.
Bona fide Possession – The superior, notwithstanding the reversal, is obliged to account for the rents since the charter was offered to him by the university, he having deduction of his casualties as if the old vassal then entered.
