| Messrs Mansfield, Hunter, and Company, and Others, creditors of John Nisbet of Northfield v. Thomas Cairns | 1771 | Creditor, Debt, Bank | Pursuers Mansfield, Hunter, Cochran, Murdoch, and Rigg, were creditors of the late John Nisbet of Northfield. Defender, Thomas Cairns, became a preferred creditor of Nisbet through a loan to Nisbet in November 1769. (A preferred creditor had priority to the repayment of a debt over other creditors.) The money was put into Nisbet's hands through Cairns's trustee, William Kerr, who also entrusted William Hart. Nisbet granted Cairns a heritable bond. Nisbet later went bankrupt. The Pursuers challenged Cairns' status as a preferred creditor. They maintained that they were creditors of the debtor Nisbet before his arrangement with Cairns, and that they had claims at least on par with Cairns. |
