The Lords thought, in regard the wife was dead, that the clause making her and her husband a bairn of the house did evanish, she having no children, and deceasing before her father; but, if she had survived him, the obligement would have made her so far a creditor to her father, that he could not gratuitously dispose of his moveables, mortis causa, to his other children, without leaving her something. But that case did not exist.
