In Robert Stewart, factor, his case with some Merchants in Edinburgh, the Lords, on Harcous's report, found the letters orderly proceeded for Robert: but sustained the Merchants' declarator of fraud and circumvention, in taking ten crowns en the same wine from them, more than he took at the same time from Hollanders and other strangers. And admitted it to probation, as dolus both in consilio et re.
Though we allow not reductions ob Iæsionem ultra dimidium justi pretii, ex I. 2 C. de Resc. Vendit., yet our law will repress cheating. Vide 11th Jan. 1682, Bonar and Neilson.
