A pursuit was intented for a sum of money, which the defender was obliged by his promise to pay in case he should be married; having gotten from the pursuer in the mean time a piece, which the pursuer was to loose, in case the defender should not be married.
The Lords sustained the pursuit; though some of their number were of the opinion, that sponsiones ludicræ, of the nature foresaid, ought not to be allowed.
Reporter, Strathurd.
