In an action pursued by Cant against Edgar, it was alleged by the defender, That the debt contained in his father's bond, which was heritable, and for the which he was pursued as heir to his father, by this pursuer, heir to the assignee, could not appertain to the assignee's heir, but to his executors; because, although the bond be heritable, yet the assignation made it moveable, and, consequently, to appertain to the executors. The Lords repelled the allegeance, and found that the assignation did not alter the nature of the bond.
