George Lockhart Esq; v John Chiefly of Kersewell, Writer In Edinburgh, Margaret Pow, William Montgomery, Walter Chiefly, and William Bertram: HL 7 Jun 1714

Non-entry – A Superior having obtained a general declaratory of non-entry, his agent in a subsequent ranking restricts the superior’s interest so as to be ranked posterior to annual renters. On a reduction by the superior on the head of lesion and as being absens reipublicae causa, the ranking is sustained.
Ranking and Sale – It is not relevant to reduce a decreet of ranking, that posterior to the date of the decreet the interests of certain creditors were produced, and ranked, and yet no new decreet put up in the minute-book.
