Joseph Cave, treasurer of the Society, had become bankrupt, and the Society therefore charged Steuart, who was standing surety for him, to repay outstanding sums of money. Steuart refused to do this, on the grounds that the charges were made after Cave's term as treasurer had already expired, and that his own obligation as cautioner only lasted as long as Cave was holding the office of treasurer.
