A wife having bound herself, in her contract of marriage, to pay a certain sum yearly out of the rents of her jointure-lands, &c. to the heir-male of the marriage, and the heir-male of his body; the husband dying, leaving many debts, the heir-male renounced to represent him, and the creditors pleaded, That the provision to the heir should be deducted from the widow's liferent, so as to increase the defunct's hœreditas jacens affectable for his debts. The Lords found, that the provision to the heir-male did not diminish the widow's jointure.
