11 Casualties of single and life-rent escheats incurred by horning and denunciation for civil causes taken away.E+W+S
And whereas the casualties of single and life-rent escheat, consequent upon the process competent by the law of Scotland, for recovering payment of civil debts, or performance of obligations, have, by experience, been found highly rigorous, and liable to be abused; from and after the said twenty-fifth day of March, the casualties of single escheat, heretofore incurred by horning and denunciation of the debtor in any civil debt or obligation, and of life-rent escheat, heretofore incurred by such debtor so denounced, continuing for a year and day unrestored or unrelaxed, be, and the same are hereby taken away and discharged for ever; and that from and after the said twenty-fifth day of March, no single escheat or life-rent escheat shall become forfeited, or be consequent upon any such process as is before mentioned; any law, custom or usage to the contrary hereof in any wise notwithstanding.
