A writer to the signet having received from the complainer 10s. Sterling, in order to obtain a suspension for her, and accordingly presented the bill, which was past, but neglected to be expede, for this reason given by him in excuse, that the money received was not sufficient for expeding the bill, but
which he had not notified to the complainer;—the Lords “found him liable in damage and expense, and remitted to the Ordinary on the bills to tax the same;” and he not being in good circumstances, “they fined him only in ten shillings Sterling to the poor.”
