Major Thomas Cochrane v Robert Lord Blantyre: HL 4 Apr 1726

Costs and Expences. –
Trust bonds granted conditionally, if the grantor should procure two commissions held by the grantee, of which he then executed resignations, are reduced upon the ground, that though the grantor held the said resignations in his hands, he did not procure the new commissions in virtue thereof, but in consequence of other means and considerations: but the Court having refused the pursuer his costs, the judgment is reversed, and it is ordered that the Court do case these costs to be taxed and ascertained and forthwith paid to the pursuer.
Appeal – The pursuer having craved that the bonds might be delivered up to him by the clerk, but the defender having stated that he meant to appeal, and the Court having ordered the bonds to remain in process, and not to be delivered up without a fresh warrant, their judgment is affirmed.
