Captain Campbell, Curator to Campbell of Kilberry, accepted a bill to Dougal Murray for an account due him by Kilberry. Gibson, as creditor to Murray, arrested in Kilberry's hands; and afterwards Murray assigned it to Sir Richard Murray; and in a competition, Dun preferred Sir Richard Murray. But on a reclaiming bill, we unanimously preferred the arrester, notwithstanding it was said that the account was prescribed quoad modum probandi, for still he remained debtor in the money, and in this process owned the debt.
