In an action pursued by one Walker against Mainquhair, wherein decreet was obtained by the pursuer, the defender raises suspension and craves compensation of a just debt alleged, owing by the pursuer to the defender, which he instantly verified. It was alleged, By the act of Parliament, Ja. VI, Parl. 12th, cap. 143, no compensation ought to be allowed after decreet; which allegeance the Lords sustained, in respect of the act of Parliament, although it was thought by many that the act was hardly conceived.
