Accepting a tocher in a contract of marriage in satisfaction of portion natural and bairn's part of gear, without mention of dead's part, executry, or moveables, does not exclude the child accepting from her share of the dead's part, as nearest of kin, equally with her brothers and sisters in familia; aud she is not bound to collate her tocher. See this Case, voce Legitim; also Campbell against Lady Inverleven, 21st July 1738, Ibidem.
