In the action pursued by Steven and Gilbert Waddell in Leith against Wauchope, the Lords found that a bond, whereby the husband as heritor, and the wife as liferenter, had bound them to infeft Wauchope in an annualrent furth of a tenement whereof Steven was liferenter, and to pay as well not infeft as infeft, was valid to bind the wife Steven to pay the said annualrent for all years since her said husband's decease, and during his lifetime.
