[Fac. Coll. II, No. 59.]

This was a competition among the creditors of Patrick and James Jackson, in which the Lords sustained a disposition made by a bankrupt, in terms of the act 1696, to a trustee for the behoof of all his creditors, and therefore set aside some arrestments at the instance of creditors who did not accede to the trust-disposition.

Some of the Lords put their opinions upon specialties; but the President and Prestongrange said that they did not hold these later decisions, which established that a bankrupt could make no disposition, even for behoof of all his creditors, to be law.
