Church – Glebe Boundaries – Decree of Presbytery – Ambiguity – Extent of Glebe Boundary – Excambion – Possession.
Held ( aff. judgment of the First Division) that a decree of Presbytery drawn up for the purpose of fixing the boundaries of a glebe was unambiguous, and that therefore its limits could not be extended by evidence of possession of a larger boundary.
