Mr William Chiesley, writer, having charged William Gordon and Doctor Trotter, for £100 Scots contained in their bond, on the account of Samuel Chiesly, his brother;—they suspended on this reason, that he had intromitted with more of Samuel's effects than would pay this sum; and he, on oath, confessed £1200 Scots, but adjected qualities, that he had debursed it on funerals, &c.
The Lords, at the advising his oath, finding the articles with which he charged himself most gross, exorbitant, and uninstructed, they found there was more than room for compensing and taking away the said L.100 bond; and so suspended it simpliciter.
