The liferent of a subject being left to a woman, with a power to her of disposing of the subject, at her death, to any of certain persons named, she desired one of the nominees to get a disposition drawn in his own favour; but stipulated, that her husband should have the liferent. The nominee agreed with the husband to give him a certain sum in lieu of the liferent, and took the disposition simply to himself. A reduction of the disposition being brought by the other nominees contra bonos mores, the Lords repelled the reason of reduction.
