In this case it was held to be established law, that the obligation in a contract of marriage, in favour of the heir of the marriage, may be implemented by performance to the presumptive heir of the marriage during the father's life, and, though that heir should die before the father, the next will have no claim. This was decided, January 7, 1737, Traill against Traill.
