Messrs Colvills, being notour bankrupts, a creditor brought an adjudication against them, in which a term taken for producing a progress, was circumduced. Decree was pronounced and extracted; all was done regularly, but as quickly as the forms of Court would admit of. Messrs Colvills, by petition, stated, That they were in danger of incurring an irritancy, as their estate was strictly intailed: And they complained of the precipitancy with which the decree had been taken.
The Lords refused the petition; not only because the decree was irrregular; but in respect that the petitioners being bankrupt, were not entitled to produce a progress; and that creditors are entitled to adjudge their debtors estate, whether it be entailed or not.
