This case (No. 41. p. 8282), was appealed. The House of Lords, (27th July 1803) Ordered and Adjudged, That the interlocutors complained of in the said appeal be Reversed; and find, that the extraordinary dividend or bonus given by the Bank of Scotland to the proprietors of the stock of the late Alexander Houstoun, deceased, ought not to be considered as belonging to Mrs. Houstoun as the liferenter of the stock of the Bank of Scotland, belonging to the said late Alexander Houstoun, but that the same ought to be considered as belonging to all the persons interested in the said stock of the said late Alexander Houstoun, and that Mrs. Houstoun is therefore entitled only to the interest thereof for her life: And it is further ordered, That the said cause be remitted back to the Court of Session in Scotland, to proceed accordingly.
