The husband and his wife assign to a creditor the sum obliged by the wife's father to the cedent by contract of marriage, and thereby ordained it to be employed to the behoof of the two married persons and their heirs. The assignee charges for the tocher. The father, promitter of the tocher, suspends; alleging, that he ought not to make payment to the assignee; but first ought to have the conditions of the contract fulfilled. The Lords suspend the charge, and ordained the suspender to have the conditions of the contract fulfilled to him when he had made payment.
