In a reduction of a bond granted by a minor upon lesion, the bond being for marriage clothes, the Lords found, that what was given to the bride's father imported lesion, and therefore reponed the minor against the same; but what was given to the bride herself, though prior to the marriage, would fall under communio bonorum, and make the minor liable jure mariti, unless the merchant had followed the father's faith in the furnishing.
