In the former process betwixt Andrew Ker and Lawrie, anent the making of Margaret Law and her children a bairn of the house, Lawrie would have had consideration taken of the annualrents of the sums that made his wife's tocher alike with the others; because, although married long before, yet the foresaid tocher was but made a little before the death of Andrew Law, the good-father, where John Ker had enjoyed her whole tocher from his marriage. Yet the Lords, in respect that the said Lawrie had enjoyed the whole that was left by the defunct, thir four years bygone, found that the one interest might compense the other. In respect also, that two thousand merks of the tocher, promised to John Ker, being suspended during the goodfather his lifetime, he did agree with him for twelve or thirteen hundred merks.
