Found that though any furnishing made by merchants, &c. to the Lady Southesk, after she had a separate aliment settled upon her, would oblige her personally, and affect her aliment, yet neither she nor her aliment could be liable for furnishing before constitution of the aliment; and that her promise since the settling of the aliment, to pay what was furnished to her before the aliment, was revocable as done stante matrimonio; and that her husband's representatives were liable for that furnishing.
