The Lords unanimously and without any hesitation found that this tailzie being completed by infeftment and not recorded in the register of tailzies is not effectual against creditors, and in that particular this case differed from the case of Denholm, where the House of Lords reversed the judgment of this Court in favours of the creditors; but the judgment was reversed because that tailzie was a personal deed not completed by infeftment, and the Lords thought that the creditors not contracting upon the faith of the records but of a personal deed, must take it as it stands with all its qualities, though not recorded.
