In a case observed 111, New (Faculty) Coll., No. 67, the Lords found, that an adjudication of a wife's lands, proceeding on her personal obligement, contained in an heritable bond, granted over said lands, by her and her husband, is null, so far as it adjudges the lands.
They found the same, Winter Session 1772, Robertson against Watson. The Lord Monboddo, Ordinary, had (26th June 1772,) found, “That an heritable bond, granted by a wife stante matrimonio with consent of her husband, can be made effectual against her lands by adjudication, if the money is not paid.” But the Lords altered, and found, that, as the adjudication was sought to be led on the personal obligation of the wife, no decree could be pronounced.
