An arrestment found preferable to a blank indorsation of a promissory note.
N. B. Such notes cannot pass by blank indorsation, but only by assignation, or a short writing on the back of the note, and till intimation to the debtor, are affectable by arrestment, and liable to compensation. For the notes of a trading company in the act of Parliament, are only understood notes of a corporate body, as the Bank, or the like.

*** C. Home's report of this case is No 48. p. 712. voce Arrestment.
