In an action of quadruple poinding, pursued by Alexander Mowatt against the creditors of John Richardson, the Lords found that could not make arrestment, because the time of making thereof his bond was heritable, and sasine was given to him of an annualrent for his sum. And albeit, there was a provision of the bond that it should be lawful to charge for the principal without registration; yet before that charge, the sum remained heritable, and so they preferred one George Smith to him.
