If three sisters be apparent heirs, and the father dispone his heritage to one of the three, and appoint her to give certain sums of money to the other two, a creditor pursues her to whom the lands were disponed as successor to her father post contractum debitum. She alleges, That her other two sisters ought to be pursued as well as she, seeing they got benefit by their father. To the which it was replied, That none can be pursued as successor but those who succeed to lands or heritable right; and not they that obtain provisions of monies. Which reply the Lords found relevant, and sustained the pursuit against the third sister in solidum, who had gotten disposition, from her father, of the land; but prejudice to her to pursue lher relief from her other two sisters prout de jure.
