By decreet arbitral pronounced by the Earl of Marchmont, the Duke of Gordon being decerned to pay L.800 Sterling of yearly aliment to the Dutchess, with the burden of Lady Jean Gordon their daughter's aliment, education, and apparel; and it being declared, that if Lady Jean did not live with her mother through any other cause than that of the Dutchess's refusing to entertain her, the Dutchess should be free from all charge of her education, without any defalcation of her Grace's aliment on that account. After Lady Jean was married to my Lord Drummond, the Duke suspended the aliment upon this ground, that the Dutchess being now free of Lady Jean's education by her marriage, the L.800 of aliment must suffer a defalcation.
The Lords refused to modify the aliment, and found the letters orderly proceeded.
