Edward Burd, 15th September 1739, disponed his lands to Mrs Seaton, and sasine was taken on it that day. 24th September 1739, Mrs Seaton gave a back-bond qualifying it, that it was granted in security of a bond of L.70 sterling, granted said 24th September, and another bond of the same date to John Young of L.100 sterling, bearing to be the balance of accounts and certain other debts. We found that that infeftment could not be sustained for the L.70, because lent after the date of the sasine, in terms of the act 1696, nor for the anterior debts, because the granter was within 60 days notour bankrupt, also in terms of that act.
