An infeftment, in a right of annual-rent granted by a person not infeft, proceeding upon the precept contained in a disposition of the property in favour of the granter of the annual-rent, was found inept.
It was pleaded: That precepts may be assigned in whole or in part, and that majori inest minus. But the answer was plain. Though there was a warrant for infeftment in the property, and which might have been executed as to a part of the subject, there was no warrant for an infeftment in a right of annual-rent.
