In an action betwixt Bryce Semple and John Semple of Willands, the Lords fand, that a bond made by the said John Semple to Thomas Semple of Cathcart, of 400 merks, could not be compensed by another bond of the like sum made by the said Thomas Semple to the said John, and that because the bond, whereupon compensation was craved, was twelve years before the said bond made to the said Thomas Cathcart; and that Bryce Semple was assignee, against whom the said anterior bond could not compense.
