A Father is pursued for a sum furnished to his son. Alleged he was forisfamiliate, and entering an advocate, and this lending is contra S. C. Macedonium. The Lords found he was liable to have alimented his son according to his quality and estate, so far as the son could not entertain himself by his own industry, and that he was not totally forisfamiliate; and therefore ordained the pursuer to prove the sum was furnished for aliment and the worth of the father's estate, that they might modify accordingly.
