An adjudication proceeding, among other debts, upon a bill, and a promissory note, and adjudging the lands for payment of the liquidate penalty, contained in the other grounds of debt; and for a fifth part more of the said bill and promissory note, in name of liquidate penalty, though no penalty could be in the bill, and none was in the note; found null and void in totum; although it was much urged by some of the Lords, that, where an adjudication proceeded upon different debts, notwithstanding its being found null, as to one debt, it ought to be sustained at least as a security for the other debts, with respect to which there lay no objection to the diligence.

Kilkerran, (Adjudication), No. 2. p. 3.
