to report to the Inner-house ; but with a long note con-
tlintug the Lord Ordinary's own opinion in favour of the
sufficiency of the entail. The
grounds of reduction tri©d
are laid to have been of a technical nature. The entail
prohibits the heirs contracting debts as burdens on the
lands; but does not prohibit them from incurring debts
!enerally, for which creditors might proceed against the
ands, and this was pleaded (among other things) against I,lble validity of t!,e entail, As in a question with creditors.
