The case between John Charteris, merchant in Edinburgh, and Mr John Smith and the other Creditors of Mr James Winram, advocate, being reported by Redford; the Lords preferred the disposition to the apprising, and repelled that nullity of the infeftment, that it proceeded on hesp and staple, (not holding more burgali;) their infeftment proceeding in the same way, and so labouring under the same vice. And, as for the gift of escheat, it was alleged, the horning was null, there being a signeted suspension before the denunciation.
