Ogilvie of Logie having, by contract, disponed a quantity of victual to James Hamilton, he charges for the price.
James suspends, upon this reason,—That his receipts of the victual bear expressly, that every boll wanted eleven pounds of weight; whereof he must have abatement, conform to the Act of Council, ordering all bargains between merchants to be by weight.
It was answered, That this bargain was before the Act of Council, although the delivery was after; and, therefore, the delivery behoved to be regulated according to measure, as the bargain was made, and not according to weight.
Which the Lords found relevant.
