The Lords found the objections against a bill founded on the game act, not competent Against an onerous indorsee, to be proven by the indorsees oath, as we did formerly, 25th January 1740, Nelson against Bruce of Newgrange. 2dly, That the clause in the act anent the L.10, concerned only the case of ready money lost and paid at the gaming; but that a bill or other security for the smallest sum lost at game is void and null.
