Bill payable after twelve months, with this clause, “with the first year's interest twelve one-half merks,” sustained by the President's casting vote, notwithstanding our former decisions to the contrary. (See Dict. No. 26. p. 1423.)
*** The like again found 23d July 1743, Murray of Cherrytrees against Margaret Lauder—N. B. The President thought that a bill bearing annualrent after the term of payment would be null. See No. 5. No. 23. and No. 53. (See Dict. No. 28. p. 1424.)
