There was a contract of marriage betwixt the Lady Falside, widow, and the Laird of Admiston, wherein the said Laird was obliged to dispone to the heir to be procreated of that marriage, the lands of Millarstones. After her spouse's decease, the Lady, for herself, and in name and behalf of her son and apparent heir procreated of that marriage, craves registration of that contract against the Laird of Admiston's son of his first marriage, as lawfully charged to enter heir. To which it was answered, That no registration can be decerned at the apparent heir's instance till he be first served and retoured. It was replied, That registration might be granted at the instance of the apparent heir, suspending the execution till he were entered heir. The Lords refused to grant registration till he were served heir.
