In this case the general question occurred, How far an infeftment granted by a person who was rendered bankrupt within sixty days of the registration was effectual?
The arguments were the same with those formerly urged in similar cases.
The Lord Ordinary pronounced the following interlocutor:
“Having considered the words of the act 1696, and the decision of the Creditors of Menzies, (No 258. p. 1226.) in the year 1715, finds, That the deeds under challenge are not reducible under the act 1696.”
And to this judgment the Lords adhered, upon advising a reclaiming petition for the pursuers, with answers for the defender. See No 217. p. 1163.
