Most of the Lords thought, that where there is proper steelbow, whether ifi corn, straw, or others, the master may stop poinding for his steelbow as well as rent; but the goods appearing plainly to be the tenant's property, and put into the form of steelbow, to give the sellers, who were creditors to the tenant, a sort of security in them, or rather to cover them from the diligence of his creditors; the Lords found the steelbow not duly constituted, and repelled the defence.—Affirmed in Parliament as above, (No. 6.)
