Grizell Bruce, spouse to Gavin Hamilton of Hill, gave in a petition, representing, that her husband was doing sundry deeds, both prejudicial to herself and her children, in favours of Raplock, his brother, and that she was about to quarrel the same, and her husband being the party, refused to concur; therefore craved the Lords would name a curator to authorize her in the pursuit of the reduction of these deeds, both for her own and her children's interest, and to give her an aliment medio tempore.
The Lords thought the first part reasonable, to name one for authorizing her in the process, in so far as concerned her jointure and the clauses of the contract of marriage in her favours, but not for her children; and would not modify any aliment hoc loco. See Dury and Haddington, the 9th January, 1623, Marshall.
