27 Heir of entail building mansion-house, etc. to be a creditor to succeeding heir for three fourth parts of the expence:S
And whereas it frequently happens that there are not, upon entailed estates, mansion-houses and offices suitable to the estates, and fit for the accommodation of the heirs of entail; and that mansion-houses and offices upon entailed estates are sometimes destroyed by fire, or from other accidental causes, or become insufficient by length of time; and it being beneficial to the public to encourage heirs of entail, in such cases, to build houses and offices suitable to their estates, and fit for the accommodation of their families; Be it therefore enacted by the authority aforesaid, that every heir of entail who lays out money in building a mansion-house or offices, or in repairing or adding to the mansion-house or offices upon his estate, shall be a creditor to the next succeeding heir of entail for three fourth parts of the money expended by him.
