[Fac. Col. VI. 194; Dict. 8743.]

Hailes. This seems the worst of all good votes.

Kennet. I think this is not a good vote. Here is not a wadset, for there is no sors.

Pitfour. Wherever there is a wadset or pledge, there must be a debt. There cannot be an accessorium without a principale.

Gardenston. There are many easy ways of making votes; but this will not answer.

Auchinleck. We may safely say that this is not an usurious wadset.

On the 1st July 1773, the Lords altered their former interlocutor, and found Hamilton wrongfully enrolled, and therefore ordered him to be expunged.

Act. A. Lockhart. Alt. Ilay Campbell.
