The question stated, but not determined, How far a creditor, taking decree of mails and duties, and even possessing in consequence of it, is obliged to account by a rental, except where he debars another creditor?

One thing is plain, that he debars the debtor; and although, where the debtor has had a promiscuous possession, another creditor cannot oblige him to account by a rental, yet, if the debtor has had no promiscuous possession, it is thought another creditor may oblige him to account in that manner.

 Kilkerran, (Diligence) No 1. p. 166.
