Compensation was proponed against a bill in the hands of an onerous indorsee, which had lain over two years after its date, and 18 months after the term of payment without any demand being made, or diligence used. The Lords were of opinion, that the statute 12th Geo. III., ought to make an alteration of the former practice of the Court in such questions, and therefore they found that in the present case, compensation was not proponable. See No 205. p. 1648.
