The children of umquhile Edgar of Netherlie, alleging that their father left to his heir a competent estate, and that he died before any provision or aliment appointed to them, and that the heir's tutor refused to aliment them, their mother being also dead; therefore craved an aliment to be modified, there being no compearance in the contrary.
The Lords found the brother, as being heir to the father, of a competent estate, liable to aliment the children, being wholly unprovided; but determined neither the time, nor the quantity, till the condition of the estate were instructed.
