Date: Inglis
v.
Lawrie
12 January 1677 Click here to view a pdf copy of this documet : PDF Copy
Some of the Lords were of the opinion, that a husband may give validly, during marriage, to his wife, a provision or jointure, where there is no contract of marriage; but that the wife could not give to the husband, though there were not a contract of marriage; and that she might revoke any such donation: which appears to be hard and unequal. But this point was not decided.
Act. Colt. Alt. Dalrymple. Mr Thomas Hay, Clerk. Page 211.
