Ambrose Cox and Jaddart against the Earl of Winton. The Lords found the obligement for L.100 Sterling not penal, but due by contract, seeing he had liberty to have imported 800 veyes of salt for it, and they were damnified by not furnishing themselves, and depending on it, and so were disappointed; but found the bond of L.500 Sterling penal, and that it could subsist for no more but allenarly for annualrent of the L.100 Sterling, and the expenses, and referred to my Lord Reporter to modify it.
