Gibson and Balfour v. Cheape 1799

Cheape was co-cautioner on a bill for debt due by Baillie, Blinshall, Sadler in Edinburgh, to Gibson and Balfour. Gibson and Balfour attempted to receive payment from Cheape. Cheape countered that the debt was no longer valid, as the bill was more than seven years old.
