Gordon, a trooper, who had married Petrie, daughter to a rich farmer in Salton, being denied the tocher, because it was left by her father conditionally, if she married with Fletcher of Salton's consent:
The Lords found it sufficient that she had required Salton's consent, though she did not obtain it; unless they will allege some reasonable cause of his dissent, or some disproportion in the match: though it was offered to be proven that her father, before his death, had declared his aversion to her marrying of that man; but, nota, they call him Gordon. See the contrary decided in Dury, 16th December 1629, Home.
