TRANSFERENCE, Scotch law. The name of an action by which a suit, which was 
pending at the time the parties died, is transferred from the deceased to 
his representatives, in the same condition in which it stood formerly. If it 
be the pursuer who is dead, the action is called a transference active; if 
the defender, it is a transference passive. Ersk. Prin. B. 4, t. 1, n. 32.
