A firm of electric contractors raised an action against a person whose house they had lighted with electricity, for pounds 169, 0s. 7d., the balance of their account. After the summons had been signeted, but before it was called, the defender offered the pursuers pounds 155 in full of their claims. This offer was refused. In the defences to the action the defender tendered the pursuers pounds 50 ‘in full of their claims in this action.’ The Court in decerning against the defender for payment to the pursuers of pounds 44, 13s. 1d., held that the defender was entitled to expenses of process.
