The Lords found this sum not arrestable by Mr Douglas's creditors, though it is expressly assigned to him his heirs and assignees. This difficulty I stirred, but the Lords inclined to limit the meaning of the word “assignees” to “assignees for aliment.” It appeared also a little new to constitute a principal sum for an aliment,—though as the sum was very small, not one year's aliment, I inclined to look over that; and the Lords adhered to the Ordinary's interlocutor, viz. Lord Arniston.
