Ane Fleming, called Zibbis, pursued the Countess of Orkney, upon her obligation to pay to her L. 900.—She excepted, That the obligation was null; because, she being clad with a husband, he had not consented to the obligation.—It was replied, That the obligation was granted for the price of stuffs to be her clothing, and other necessary furniture concerning her clothing and aliment; in respect whereof, albeit the obligation contained not these causes per expressum, the Lords repelled the exception.
