“The Lords find, that Messrs Glover, &c. assignees under the commission of bankruptcy awarded against Bedford and Son, have a right of action, entitling them to recover the bankrupts’effects in Scotland, and to compete for the same: and further, find, That Robert Vasie of Hexam, an Englishman. claiming under an English debt, and having already drawn a dividend of the bankrupt’s effects on account of said debts, under the said commission, is barred from competing with the assignees, or claiming preference on his arrestments produced; 24th January 1776, Vasie against Glover, &c.; adhered to as to the first point, 13th June 1776; memorials ordered, as to the second point, 7th August 1776; adhered to, as to the second point also.”
Same day determined a similar point on a hearing, Parish against Khone, &c. with regard to the effects of a Bremen merchant in Scotland. The creditor, having acceded to the trust right prescribed by the law of Bremen, was barred from competing with the trustees in Scotland.
