Robert Sandilands, merchant in Edinburgh, against Jean Heriot Lady Ramorney, and John Craig, her son. The Lords, on Forret's report, decerned against the son; but, in regard he was a child, superseded all personal execution against him till he was 18 years old. And, for the Lady, found her letter produced contained no obligatory words against her, to make her liable for her husband's bond acclaimed; they being only spoken impersonaliter, et in tertia persona, that she hoped shortly course should be taken with her husband's debts, and desired him to forbear, but did not promise that she would take course with it; and therefore the Lords assoilyied her, in respect she was confirmed executrix-creditrix to her husband, on her contract of marriage, which was not fulfilled aliunde.
