A debtor, who stood also bound for his creditor in greater sums, refused to pay, unless be were relieved of his whole engagements; The Lords found the defender liable to apply the sum wherein he was debtor for payment of the debts for which he stood bound, but gave him his option to pay one or other, as he thought proper, so far as the sum in question would extend, and that at the sight of the Lord Ordinary. See Appendix.

Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 168.
