Halcraig reported Robert Sandelands, merchant in Edinburgh, against Gabriel Rankine of Orchyardhead. The Lords found, that the offering a progress of writs would not stop his total adjudication of the lands, or restrict the said Robert, his creditor, to a part of the lands, unless he was infeft; and that his ratification would not defend him, because the next heir might pass by him, and serve heir to the former; and, therefore, decerned the adjudication to be over the haill lands: superseding extract for a month, that, if the defender infeft himself betwixt and that time, the adjudication may be restricted to a proportional part, effeiring to his sum, and a fifth part more; but if not, then to go out against the whole.
