An heritable bond was granted for the price of smuggled goods by a merchant in Scotland to his correspondent in Holland, who was accessory to the importation; the bond was assigned for value to a third person, who took infeftment on it. On the bankruptcy of the debtor in the bond, the trustee for his creditors brought reduction of the security on the score of its being pactum illicitum, and the Lords reduced it accordingly. See Appendix.
