In the suspension at Hendersone's instance against Patrick Spence, charging for four years' tack-duty of a tenement of land,—the reason is, that the letters must be suspended for the half; because, by the said Patrick his contract of marriage with umquhile Elizabeth Hendersone, it is agreed that the half of their moveable goods shall pertain to either of them their heirs and executors; which contract is produced. As also, the said umquhile Elizabeth hath nominated the suspender her executor, who likewise hath urged the charger, before the commissaries
of Edinburgh, for giving up inventory, and hath obtained decreet for that effect against him, being the husband; so that per eum stat that the testament is not confirmed, and so things not made liquid, through his own default. Page 149.
