The countess of Sutherland in August 1742 accepted a bill to a milliner for L48. as the balance of her account, payable at Candlemas 1743, and got her account discharged. Repeated demands were made for the money, and the Countess's letters promising payment produced; and now after the
Countess's death they sued the Earl, and I found him liable for both principal and annualrent from the term of payment, and thought there was the same ground in law to subject him to interest as to the capital; but on a reclaiming bill the Lords found no interest due. (See Dict. No. 226. p. 6019.
