Lorimer having applied to the Magistrates of Edinburgh to have an aliment modified, they allowed M'Coull the creditor a proof of his having
secreted some of his effects. On advising whereof, they found that he did conceal several of his effects not given up in the condescendence, in order to screen the same from his creditors; but found nevertheless, that he was entitled to the benefit of the act of Parliament, but restricted his aliment from sevenpence before modified to fivepence. M'Coull presented a bill of suspension, and on a reclaiming bill and answers, we adhered. The Court thought the particulars concealed, of too small value to deprive him of an aliment. Aliment, Separate, see December 6, 1750, Leckie, voce Husband and Wife.
