Steven Boyd and one Wilson, two of Andrew Kellie's creditors, were striving about L. 400 pertaining to Andrew, which of them should be preferred. They had both arrested, but Steven Boyd having lost his principal letters of arrestment, produced only an extract of letters of horning and arrestment, with the principal executions of the arrestment, subscribed by the messenger.——The Lords found, That albeit the extract would suffice for the horning, yet it was not enough to verify the arrestment.
