A Father gives a bond of provision to his daughter; the brother retires it, and gives his own bond; afterwards, in the sister's contract of marriage, he binds for 4000 merks, without mentioning or relating to the said bond. The debate was, if he was liable in both? The Lords found it came in place of his bond, and must be interpreted in satisfaction thereof.
