Forfeiture for Treason.
Another question of the same nature as in the last appeal, arose between the same parties, in regard to the lands of Waterstown. The titles of the respondent to these lands stood in the same situation, as his titles to the lands of Gaskinhall. No cases have been found on the present appeal. That the questions were the same in this and the last appeal, appears from the report of the English Judges on the point of jurisdiction in the Court of Session, (Journal, 11 March 1719-20,) which they left undecided.
