| Thomas Cowan v. William Aitchison and William Walker |
1797
|
Debt, Sequestration, Arrestment, Cautioner, Personal Protection, Creditor |
Thomas Cowan, flesher in Musselburgh, pursued William Aitchison, distiller at St Clement's Wells, and William Walker, attorney in Exchequer, upon a caution bond. Aitchison and Walker petitioned the Court twice to alter a recent interlocutor, first in January 1797 and again in June 1797. Cowan answered both petitions, and in his September answers maintained that the petitioners' failure to present the debtor in February 1796 had forfeited the bond. |
