In an action betwixt the Laird of Edmiston, as assignee constituted by Sir John Ker to a contract for payment of sums of money therein contained, against the Earl of Lothian; this assignation being quarrelled by the Earl of Lothian, as null by the act of Parliament 1592, because it was made by a rebel then, and as yet remaining rebel, to the defender's prejudice, who is the cedent's creditor; this allegeance was repelled, because the contract assigned was an heritable contract, and so came not under that act of Parliament.
