There was a person called A. B. warned to flit and remove from certain lands. It was alleged, That he ought not to flit and remove, because the pursuer's wife had, since warning, received certain duties of the lands, she being in continual use, in times bygone, of receiving the same. To which it was answered, That the same was not relevant, except it were alleged, That it was done at the command of the husband, and that he had given his consent thereto tanquam caput et sine cujus consensu nihil potuit uxor facere. The Lords, notwithstanding of the reply, admitted the exception licet bona pars dominorum in contraria fuerunt opinione.
