Robert Gibson, merchant in Edinburgh, against George Handyside, clerk to the Weigh-house in Leith, and James Livingston, his cautioner. The Lords, from the probation, found it was not proven to be the custom of the tackmen of the Weigh-house of Leith, to accept of precepts or decreets against these who have goods lying there, in part-payment of the tack-duty which the clerk of the said Weigh-house accounts for to the tacksman.
