A bond, binding a debtor to pay a sum to a man and his spouse, the longest liver of them two, and to their heirs, no bairns being betwixt them two, after the decease of husband, the wife claims right to the sum, as pertaining to her by the bond, and her heirs. ——The Lords found her heirs could claim no part of the sum, but the whole sum, after her decease, to pertain to the heirs of her husband; except the bond had been expressly, that failing of heirs gotten, or to be gotten betwixt them, the sum to be divided betwixt the heirs of the husband and the wife.
