In the suspension above written, Lady Rentone against George Stewart, because of the Laird his wilfulness, who would not let his wife depone, the Lords sustained the bond per se; although it was excepted, that the same was null, she being minor in familia paterna, where the father was administrator to her, and did not consent, as if it had been given by a minor, having curators, without their consent; was repelled, in respect it was not alike; and the father, John Stewart of Coldingham, his consent was not much worth; likeas, he was in England at that time: et in rem minoris abundantissime versum, as is else said; it being notour, that there were lands comprised worth 6000 merks yearly, for the use of her and her sister, all bruiked by the Laird.
