The Lords thought that letters of open doors are not necessary to open locked presses or chests. They also thought that Gordon warrantably stopped the poinding. But they found that the poinder having done all that on him lay, they preferred him to the debt in question upon which no sequestration had been obtained. They seemed also to think that a possessor of goods is not bound to assist in poinding or opening doors, but only to suffer the messenger to do it. But here it appeared by the execution that the messenger really was stopped.
