N. heritable proprietor of the lands of O. sought a decreet of molestation obtained by his author, to be transferred in him active. Alleged, That decreet could not be transferred, because it was personal, and only competent, tam activè quam passivè, to the persons and their heirs between whom it was given. Replied, Albeit the action of molestation might be thought in some case personal, yet, it was according to the law, actio personalis in rem scripta, et transit in singularem successorem. The Lords repelled the allegeance.
