Certain persons of the name of Blackwood, in the character of apparent heirs portioners, brought a process of ranking and sale of their ancestors effects, heritable and moveable. After the process was called in court, and a proof allowed, in common form, they applied by petition to the court, for a sequestration of the heritable subjects, bygone rents, and other effects, not already attached by the ancestor's creditors.
The Lords were of opinion, that a competition of rights alone, authorised them to take subjects into their possession by sequestration; and as there was no competition in this case, “they refused the petition.”
