In an action pursued by John Gray contra Margaret Finlason for reduction of her liferent infeftment of five acres of land, as given, propriis manibus, without a warrant, the Lords, in supplement of the sasine, admitted this adminicle, that, by the contract of marriage, the husband was obliged to infeft the wife in liferent of five acres of land and albeit the land in the sasine be not the same yet it is sufficient to maintain the woman's sasine, specially in respect that she has no other infeftment given to her of any other five acres of land.
