In a reduction, upon the act 1696, of a disposition granted by a creditor, as in prejudice of the pursuer, a prior lawful creditor, it was objected, That the pursuer was not a prior lawful creditor, being creditor by a bill drawn the same day the disposition was granted; and accepted without a date. Answered, The acceptance must be presumed of the same date with the bill; being among parties living in the same town.——The Lords refused to sustain this presumption.——(See The particulars, p. 1006, 1083, and 1183.)
