A disposition a non domino with consent of the verus dominus, that consent imports not barely a non repugnantia, but also a conveyance of the property; whereas such a consent by a creditor though infeft, or even a wadsetter, imports no more than a bare non repugnantia, and not a conveyance of his debts or of his securities for them. Therefore, though the Lords first found that Sir William Cockburn having consented in a disposition by Langton Cockburn of a part of his estate to Mr Buchan, must make over his rights upon the estate so far as necessary for security of Mr Buchan's purchase; yet, upon reviewing the case, they altered the interlocutor, and found that consent imported no more than a non repugnantia. (See Dict. No. 85. p. 6528.)
