It was alleged, That it was 50 or 60 years since the making of the said obligation, and so, according to the act of Parliament, prescribed. Answered, That because the obligation and bond thereof were heritable, et sapebant naturam haereditatis, it could not be comprehended under the act, and so was found by the Lords.
