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