It was objected against a claim for Andrew Drummond, that it was not signed by himself but by John Gordon as his factor by a factory 1737, long before the forfeiture or vesting act, and only a general factory. Answered, That the vesting act allows claims to be signed by attornies or factors, and that very necessary, because many claimants might be in foreign parts, in the East or West Indies, and the factory is very ample to sue and even uplift in his own name, but for the granter's behoof, all debts and sums of money then due or that should be due to him. Minto reported this objection for advice, and the Lords unanimously repelled the objection.
