The deacon, box-master, and Incorporation of the Taylors of the Canongate being debtors to Elizabeth Daikers in 500 merks by bond, and being charged, they suspend that she is minor; and though she be lately married, yet Gib, her husband, is a highland man, having nothing, and if the marriage dissolve within year and day, the tocher returns, and he has no right thereto, and so he cannot validly discharge.——The Lords found her sufficiently authorised by her husband as curator to her, and that the right of administration and jus exigendi was in him, and these uncertain events could not hinder his uplifting, and therefore found the letters orderly proceeded.
