The Lords found, that Arbuthnot and Company having taken bills in their own name from Joseph Cave, and having given up the receipts of victual given by Joseph Cave to the tenants, without making any entry in their books, or taken any other document that these bills were for the behoof of George Ainslie, and without giving any notice to him that they had taken these bills in their own names to his behoof; that therefore the bills so taken were upon the proper risk of Arbuthnot and Company: But afterwards they altered, and thought the bills sufficiently stated in their books, and found they were upon Ainslie's risk;—but this last reversed in Parliament.
