Sir Alexander Cokburn of Lanton having charged Cokburn of that Ilk for L.100 Scots, as his proportion of Lanton's commissioner-fees for Berwickshire to the Parliament; Cokburn craved compensation on sundry debts he had paid for him.
Answered.—They were debitum fundi, and not to be compensated with personal debts. The Lords found it compensable, and ordained them to count and reckon.
