A Brother pleaded, That no interest was due to his sisters upon their bonds of provision, as they had lived in family with him, and had been alimented by him, nam debitor non præsumitur donare.—The Lords found, that their aliment was to be deducted from the interest of their bonds; and they modified the said aliment to two-thirds of the current annualrents of their provisions.
