A man, who in a second contract had provided the children of the marriage to the fee of L. 6000, thereafter disponed to his eldest son, by his first wife, in that son's contract of marriage, two tenements, valued at about 3000 merks, which proved to be most of his substance, burdening the same with L. 1000 Scots to the children of the second marriage.——The Lords found the deed gratuitous, quoad the eldest son and his children, and reducible in toto upon the act 1621.
