Scottish Court of Session Decisions

This action, at the instance of Mr Andrew Scott, W.S., against Mr Patrick Forbes of St Catharine's, for payment of business accounts, has been in dependence for some time. In June last, after remits had been made to the Auditor of Court and to an accountant, Lord Kinloch reported the case; and after hearing parties, the defender was appointed to lodge a minute of what he offered to prove in regard to the accounts sued for. This resulted in a minute being lodged by the defender, containing a statement of nineteen matters which he proposed to prove. To-day the Court, after hearing Mr Horn for the pursuer, and Mr Park for the defender, allowed the pursuer a proof of his employment by the defender, and to the defender a conjunct probation.
