Duke of Hamilton v Buchanan: HL 8 Mar 1878

Two offers were made for a lease of a farm, neither of which was accepted or rejected in writing; and possession followed by the offerer, who ascribed his possession to both offers. The landlord ascribed it to the second alone. Both parties were in bona fide in their averments. Held (aff. judgment of Court of Session) that there was no consensus ad idem placitum, and no completed contract between the parties.
