In a competition betwixt the said parties, for preference,—it was alleged for
Crombie, That he being infeft in annualrent, clad with possession; in so far as, after the term of payment, he had got security from the common debtor, stating the same in a principal sum, before Captain Hay, who had acquired possession upon his right.
It was alleged, That, unless the annualrent had been paid upon a decreet against the tenants for poinding the ground, any bond, granted by the common debtor, could not make Crombie's right a public right by possession.
The Lords did prefer Crombie; and found that the debtor himself might pay an annualrent without a decreet; or give bond therefor, making up annualrent in principal sum, bearing annualrent; which will make the base right clad with possession, and so preferable to any posterior right.
