Robert Barclay, tailor in Edinburgh, sued Archibald Douglas of Dornock, for an account of tailor-furnishings made all at one time to his eldest son, amounting to L. 36.
The debt was contracted by Dornock's son, when eighteen years of age, without aliment or profession, and not living with his father, on account of some differences betwixt them; the debt was high, considering the circumstances of father and son; but for this the pursuer assigned, as the reason, that at the time of contracting it, the son's friends were soliciting a commission in the army for him.
“The Lords found the defender liable.”
