The Lords found aliment due, without obliging her to live with her father. Lord Newhall laid his opinion on the voluntary obligement to aliment. I and others doubted of that, because that would extend to obligements by parents in their contracts of marriage to aliment the children, which would not oblige them to give a separate aliment, But we laid our opinion upon the law, that a liferenter must aliment the fiar.
