In a pursuit, at the instance of Sir William Lockhart against Sir William Thomson, upon a precept granted by him to the pursuer, acknowledging the receipt of 360 merks, and obliging himself to deliver a precept for the same, from the Earl of Crawfurd, lord treasurer, to the pursuer, whose father was one of the public receivers, or else to refund the money;—Alleged for the defender, The delivery of the precept, now that the lord treasurer is dead and exauctorate, is factum imprestabile; in lieu whereof, nothing but damage and interest can be claimed; and the pursuer could qualify no damage he sustains through the want of the precept, in regard the Exchequer is debtor aliunde to him in a greater balance than he has any hopes to get payment of: so that, in effect, nihil deest by the want of the precept. The Lords repelled the defence, and decerned. The contrary found in another case for Sir William Thomson against David Weems.
