An inhibition executed against the debtor at his lodgings in Edinburgh, and against the lieges at the market-cross of Aberdeen, within which jurisdiction the debtor's principal dwelling-house was situated, was found null; for without much reasoning on the point, whether it was habilely executed at Edinburgh, which the Lords inclined to think it was, if the debtor had been forty days there, they were clear, that it ought also to have been executed against the lieges at the market-cross of Edinburgh; and that in no case is it regular to execute an inhibition personally at a debtor's dwelling-house within one jurisdiction, and against the lieges at the market-cross of another jurisdiction. See Appendix.
