In the cause of Blair against Blair and Tyerie, the second daughter craved yet to be heard upon her contract of marriage; but the Lords found still, that, in both the contracts, there were two clauses: one that concerned the tocher in liquid sums, and that the eldest was justly provided to a greater sum; and another anent that which was not liquid, in making them equal in what he should have at his decease, and that the second should be a bairn of the house, as any of his daughters had gotten, or should get: which was ambulatory to his death; but the tochers were given as præcipua; and, if the father had had a mind to give the second as great a tocher as to the first, contrary to the destination of the first contract, he might have done it in the constitution of the tocher, in the second contract.—See page 427.
