Aliment to apparent heirs, Whether founded in the act 1491? 2do, Whether the estate must be considered as at the date of the pursuer's succession, or at the death of the defender's hushand? that is, Whether competent not only against the pursuer's mother, who has a liferent, but also against the father's mother, though the father got a sufficient estate. In the case of Auchinleck of Woodcockdale, against his Mother and Two Grandmothers, these points were argued, but not decided; because the Court thought none of them could spare any aliment.
