Marjory Dryburgh having charged Sir William Henderson of Fordell for payment of 1000 merks contained in a bond of corroboration of a debt due to his father, and he having suspended and raised reduction upon a reason of minority and lesion, he being minor the time of granting the bond; answered, That there was no lesion, seeing the bond was granted in corroboration of a debt due to his father, who had disponed to the suspender his estate with the burden of his debts which he had undertaken to pay by his contract of marriage, and whereof there was no reduction raised. The Lords repelled the reason of suspension, and found the letters orderly proceeded in respect of the contract of marriage produced.
