The Lords had found, that, by the conception of the testament, she had right to her 600 merks of jointure, and to her 3000 merks of tocher. But, since that time, a codicil, subsequent to the testament, being produced, it was contended he had thereby altered the same, and restricted her, in case of her daughter's decease, to the 3000 merks; because, in that event, it bore she should fall from her jointure. But the words, “from her,” being in the margin, and unsubscribed, the Lords rejected this codicil, and adhered to their first interlocutor.
