Commentary & Paraphrase
Sutherland: A bond of debt was drawn in favour of Ralph 'and his heirs'. Question, (1) whether the executors of Ralph's heir can recover the debt on such a bond, (2) whether the right of action on such a bond can pass to a second successive heir of Ralph's or only to his first heir, (3) whether exceptions to the executors' action taken upon the grounds that these questions ought to be answered in the negative are dilatory or peremptory exceptions. When it was ruled upon the third point that the exceptions were peremptory, the defendant did not dare demur.
Thorpe: For a case of this sort, which is a plea of debt and therefore only a personal action, is different from a real action. For an action of land, being a purely real action, can descend to twenty successive heirs, but this action can descend to no one but can only accrue by the terms of the deed. (Qar il nest pas en ceo cas, en plee de dette qe nest forqe accion personel, come il est en plee real. Qar en plee de terre, qest plus real, laccion put descendre a .xx., mes cest accion ne put descendre a nul mes acrest par le fait.)
