Against an arrestment founded upon an inland bill, it being objected, that it was laid on in virtue of a precept by the Judge Admiral, who is no way competent in civil debts which are not maritime; it was answered, that nothing is more ordinary than to pursue for bills of exchange before the Admiral, and to annul such arrestments would endanger the rights and properties of the lieges. The Lords sustained the arrestment.
