A woman having made a disposition omnium bonorum to her husband, and at her death left her wearing clothes to her aunt, who took decreet against the husband for the same, and thereafter granted a discharge to him, narrating the decreet, and containing a general clause of all she could ask or crave from him; the Lords found, that the discharge concerned the decreet only, and did not cut off the granter from a claim of an annuity contained in an obligement granted to her by the defunct, antecedent to the marriage.
