Though inhibition affects annualrent-rights, that is the stock, yet it does not affect the bygones fallen due before inhibition.
In the same process, we thought an inhibition proceeding not on the bond or ground of debt, but on the horning, (i, e. bearing, because the Lords have seen the horning,) was void and null, but superseded, because it was said that the universal practice some years ago was otherways. Afterwards they gave us a list of 176 inhibitions since 1692, and we unanimously repelled the objection. (See Dict. No. 58. p. 6993. and No. 55. p. 6988.)
