Mr Rigg's Lady having granted bond to Enterkin's Lady on the narrative of borrowed money, of which bond she afterwards made payment; the Lords found that the money which Mr Rigg's Lady paid to the Lady Enterkin, was Mr Rigg her husband's money; and that therefore action of repetition was competent to Mr Rigg for the same; though it was argued to be against equity, that a husband should be entitled to repete, when he is not able to condescend upon any of his money intromitted with by his wife, at that or any former time.
