[Elch., No. 14, Arrestment; Kilk., No. 8, ibid.]
The Lords found that the arrestment was valid. Arniston thought it was so,
upon the general principle that any conditional debt might be arrested. Elchies put his opinion chiefly upon this specialty, that the arrestment was after the bill was accepted by the London merchant, who then was no longer debtor to Ludovic Gordon, but to his trustee ; so that, if the arrestment could not be in the trustee's hands, it could not be at all.
