My Lord Elphinston, having obtained a decreet for a certain sum against Eason, arrests, in some of Eason's debtors' hands, certain sums addebted by them to him; in the meantime Eason dies; after his decease, Elphinston intents action against Eason's debtors, for making the arrested goods forthcoming; and, in this action, calls the defunct's relict and bairns to represent the defunct for their interest. It was alleged, No process upon this summons; because no decreet is obtained, at my Lord's instance, against the defunct's relict or executors, constituting them debtors; and, until this be done, there can be no process against the debtors to make the arrested goods forthcoming. Which exception the Lords found relevant.
The like found, 3d February 1633, Creigh against Mr Alexander Kinneir.
