Paterson, creditor to the Lady Cockpen, arrests her farms of the crop 1628, and pursues the tenants to make them forthcoming, in July 1628. It was alleged for the tenants, That the term of payment of their farms was not until betwixt Yule and Candlemas 1629; and she, being but liferentrix, might decease
before Martinmas, and so could have no right in that case, but to the half of the farms. The Lords ordained the process to ly over till after Martinmas, for the pursuer's diligence would make him to be preferred to all other creditors. Page 12.
