In Scotland ,
there are certain forms of law ,
whereby a creditor endeavors to make good his payment ,
either by affecting the person of his debtor ,
or by securing the subjects belonging to him from alienation ,
or by carrying the property of these subjects to himself .
They are either real or personal .
2 .
Real diligence is that which is proper to heritable or real rights ,.
and of this kind there are two sorts :
1 .
Inhibitions .
2 .
Adjudication ,
which the law has substituted in the place of apprising .
3 .
Personal diligence is that by which the person of the debtor may be secured ,
or his personal estate affected .
