In a cause of Bothwell, relict of Sir Robert Preston, against Sir Robert's eldest son: Forret inclined that though a bond of provision by a father to his children, was not a delivered evident in the father's lifetime; yet he being tutor and administrator of law to his own bairns, might keep their writs, and that could not hinder execution on them after his decease, though they bore no clause dispensing with the not delivery, and that these bairns were provided to 10,000 merks already, by their mother's contract of marriage, and this was an additional provision of 10,000 merks more.
