Rattray wrote a letter of credit, in favour of Nisbet, to Paisley, authorising him to furnish Nisbet with goods to the amount of L. 10, and take his bill for the same; which, if not paid by Nisbet, he would see retired. Paisley furnished the goods, but demanded no bill from Nisbet, on whose bankruptcy Paisley pursued Rattray for the sum in the letter of credit.——The lords found, That in respect the mandatary had not observed the terms of the mandate in taking a bill for the money from Nisbet, no action lay against Rattray the mandant.
