An onerous indorsee was found not to be affected by the circumstance of the bill having been granted for a game debt. The same was found, 18th February 1741, Clerk against Stewart.
Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 98. & v. 3. p. 81. Kilkerran, p. 70.
*** See The particulars of these cases, voce Pactum Illicitum. By later decisions, it has been settled, that a bill for a game debt, contains such a vitium reale, as to render it ineffectual, even to an onerous indorsee.
