Doctor Bonner pursues Sir Patrick Threipland, late provost of St Johnston, pro salario, as having attended him, when he or some of his family were sick. Alleged,—He denied the order or employment. Answered,—He produced a letter, written by Sir Patrick to him, desiring him to come, &c. Replied,—That will serve for that sickness, but will not be a universal constitution of him to be his physician in subsequent sicknesses; to which he came officiously uncalled, and only to make a visit, and dined.
The Lords sustained the first employment sufficient, unless countermanded; and modified ten dollars for every visit, it being four miles distance.
