Excerpt from The Scots Revised Reports, Vol. 10: Court of Session; Containing Macpherson X, 1871-72

Amongst other things, great complaint was made in respect of two specific points, with regard to which the pursuer now asks your Lordships to reverse the decision of the Court of Session. The Court of Session have decided that there was an excess of power with reference to the mode in which this gentleman proceeded as regarded the signing of blank cheques, and the loans which have been made to the banks.

But there were two other main questions raised before us. The one was with respect to a considerable augmentation of the salary of certain clerks and other persons employed by the partnership, which augmentation was made without the concurrence of the pursuer by his uncle in his capacity as manager. The other main complaint was of the manager, Mr. Robert Beveridge, havin ordered a considerable number of power-looms, instead of hand-looms, to be intr need, at a considerable expense, into the business. He justified this order by sayin [6] that the ower-looms were wanted for the requirements of the business, and there ore he ineia in ordering them with or without the concurrence, at all events without asking for the concurrence, of the pursuer in the present action.
