One having sold an office, and taken a bond for a yearly annuity by way of aliment for it, and not to be arrestable; a creditor arrested it, and the Lords found it not arrestable, because the profits of the office sold were not arrestable, and the annuity was but a moderate aliment. But had it exceeded a moderate aliment, they thought the surplus would have been arrestable.
