A father acquiring a commission in Exchequer to his son in familia, and intromitting with or retaining the pay, being himself paymaster, while at the same time he alimented his son; the aliment was found to be ex pietate; and notwithstanding thereof, the father's heir found liable for the pay, though it be an alimentary fund. And yet, afterwards, that heir was not found liable in the annualrent of that pay. (See Dict. No. 89. p. 549.)
