A debtor is denounced to the horn by his creditor. The debtor dies. The creditor pursues the defunct's relict, as intermissatrix with his goods and gear, to pay the principal debt and annualrent thereof since his decease, by virtue of the act of Parliament, whereby annualrent is due to the creditor since the horning.——The Lords found, That the executors and intromitters are not subject to pay any annualrent due by the defunct at the time of his decease, except the executors or intromitters had been denounced to the horn themselves.
