Cairns contra Cairns and Patrick Steil. The Lords sustained the widow's exonerations, being for privileged debts, as liouse-mails, servants-fees, medicaments, funerals, &c. unless they condescend on some defence they had, if they had been cited thereto; and repelled that defence, that she had paid without sentence; and found she needed not abide a decreet for privileged debts of that nature.
