A bill bearing annualrent 17 days before the date (when the money was due as the bill bears) being found null on that ground, referente Kilkerran without Informations, the Lords this day refused a reclaiming bill without answers, though the bill was for a large sum L.2621 Scots, and strong evidence of its being a just debt, and though I mentioned five decisions of such bill sustained. Vide one stated in the bill 5th February 1735, Dun against Adam, where the bill bore annualrent three months before the date, 28th June 1737, Dunwoodie against Johnston, in which papers are mentioned other two, viz. Cowan against Wingate in 1724, and James Gibson against Charles Crichton in January 1726. Yet the decision was pretty unanimous, none voting against it but Monzie, Murkle, and I.—Found again (infra) 25th February 1741, Paterson against Finlays.
