Mr Matthew Campbell of Waterhaugh, one of the forfeited persons in the late times, being imprisoned for the payment of some arrears of a liferent-annuity due out of his lands, he presented a suspension and charge to be put at liberty on the supersedere contained in the 16th Act of Parliament 1695, suspending all personal execution against persons in his circumstances till Whitsunday 1696.
The Lords, having read the clause of that act, found it related only to debts where there was a principal sum and annualrents; and did not extend to this case, where there was no sors; and so, being lex correctoria et a jure communi exorbitans, it could not be drawn de casu in casum; and therefore refused the bill.
