The Lords found there was not such mora upon the part of the creditor as to debar him from recourse, and therefore repelled the reasons of suspension. The Lords thought the distinction good between a bill payable at days sight, and at a certain day, for if this bill had been payable the 26th June, (at which day it would have fallen due if it had been sent by the course of the post, and so had been accepted on the 12th) they thought the not demanding payment before the 3d July, when the acceptors broke, would have excluded recourse.
