Lord Dun reported a question upon a bill drawn by a husband upon his wife, and accepted by her and protested for not payment, whether horning was competent not only against the wife as acceptor, but against the husband for his interest? The Lords found, and directed the Lord Ordinary accordingly, that no horning was competent against either, not against the wife, because she being designed a married wife, her obligation was void and null, and not against the husband, because the bill was accepted, and therefore the bill could only be pursued via actionis.
