The Lords found, that Robert Dalrymple, agent for the York-Buildings Company, is entitled to a hypothec on the writings now exhibited for his debursements, and a reasonable recompense for his pains according to the labour it will appear he has bestowed to the date of this interlocutor, but not to a fixed salary of L.100 sterling per annum, (which had been annually allowed in his former accounts with the Company) or arrears thereof; and that Mr Fordyce, cashier for the Company, has no hypothec or right of retention of the debts or instructions thereof affecting the Company's estates or conveyances of the same, taken by him in name of and for the behoof of the Company, for the balance of his accounts laid out in acquiring the said debts and other affairs of the Company, reserving his action against the Company as accords.
