Although, by the law and practique of this kingdom, if the wife die within year and day after the marriage, not bearing a quick child, the tocher must be restored again to the woman's heirs; yet the expenses bestowed by the husband upon his wife's entertainment, clothing, doctors, and apothecaries, and funeral, should be allowed to the husband, before he be holden to restore the haill tocher.
