A merchant at his going abroad, having disponed his lands to his sister, in case he should not return, and delivered the disposition; he, after the disposition, and before sasine thereon, bought a parcel of linen-cloth, to the value of L. 50 Sterling, which by a line he desired his sister to pay; she did not promise payment, but gave him the sasine a-keeping, which she extracted upon his dying abroad. The creditor for the price of the linen raised reduction of the disposition ex capite doli et fraudis.
The Lords reduced the disposition.
