[Fac. Coll. IX. 367; Dict. 274.]
Justice-Clerk. It would be very extraordinary if any creditor could have it in his power, by insisting in a process and obtaining a decreet of certification, to exclude another creditor from the benefit of the Act 1661.
Eskgrove. The case of Craig was different, for there year and day had intervened.
On the 22d November 1785, “The Lords repelled the objections, and sustained the decrees of adjudication as valid, and found that the creditors therein are entitled to be ranked as adjudgers, in virtue of such decreets, in their proper place;” adhering to the interlocutor of Lord Braxfield.
For Grierson,—A. Abercrombie.
Alt. Ch. Hay. Diss. Swinton.
