Upon a bill given in by Hill and Johnston, and other creditors of Lockerbie, against the Lady, bearing, that she had taken decreets before inferior courts against the tenants, and was threatening to distress them, albeit the competition and ranking was depending before the Lords; whereas, lite pendente nihil est innovandum, and craving that they might be recalled, and execution sisted thereon:—
The Lords thought it unwarrantable, yet would not grant any such general order; but thought it was more formal, that, if they were yet depending processes, bills of advocation might be given in thereon; and, if decreets were passed, that suspension might be expede thereof without caution or consignation.
