The reason I keep these papers is, because of a point of law, Whether a disposition to an apparent-heir be reducible on the act 1721, since it makes a præceptio after the granter's death; or if a disposition with the burden of debts be reducible?—The Lords did not determine these points, but they thought Lord Auchintoul had no ground of preference, and therefore repelled Petrie's defence.
