Alleged against an inhibition served on a dependence and a decreet following thereon. Answered, No respect thereto, because the process which was the ground of the inhibition, was innovate by desisting from that process, and commencing a new one before the Bailies, whereon the decreet followed. The Lords, before answer, ordained the precept and executions to be produced; which being done, they found the executions, not being stamped conform to the 32d act, Parliament 5. James III., and 74th act, Parliament 6. James V., nor subscribed conform to the 141st act, Parliament 12., James VI., they were null with the inhibition, and all following thereon, quoad a third party acquiring bona fide after the inhibition, and declared this should be a leading case, which they would follow in all time coming.
