The Laird of Grant having made a disposition omnium bonorum to his Lady, in case of her survivance, rents, mails, casualties, &c. with a special clause, “together with what shall be due and resting, at my decease, of the yearly annuity of L. 200 Sterling money payable to me by Brigadier Grant;” it was contended for the Lady, That, as to the remains of the L. 200 annuity resting at her husband's death, her assignation was special.—The Lords found, that even as to this clause, the disposition was general, in terms of the act 26th Parliament 1690, and therefore needed confirmation. See Appendix.
