A Disposition to a son bearing, “These presents are granted with the express burden of the payment of 8000 merks, (which my said son by acceptation hereof binds him to pay) to &c. my children, &c.” and the precept of sasine granted “with and under the burdens, provisions, &c. above written ;” but this burden not recited in the sasine, otherwise than by a general reference; yet the Lords found 1mo, That by the conception of the clause this debt was a real burden; 2do, Though not engrossed in the sasine otherwise than as above, they found it effectual against creditors. As to the effect of general references in sasines, vide the prints in this case, particularly those for the creditors. (See Dict. No. 68. p. 10,246.)
