An arrestment being used in the hands of a tenant of lands, upon the 15th of May 1725, betwixt twelve and one afternoon, the Lords found only the Whitsunday half-year's rent and preceedings carried by the arrestment; but not the subsequent Martinmas half-year's rent, because the messenger might be mistaken in a few minutes; but had the arrestment been some hours after in the afternoon, they thought the next Martinmas rent would also have been affected, as then current.—This was pronounced, though there was no competition.
