Old Langtoun being obliged, in his son's contract of marriage, to give his son (who was infeft in the fee, with the father's liferent of the whole,) access to the lands for 9000 merks yearly, for the entertainment of his future spouse and the family;—the Lords found the provision was real, and preferable to posterior real creditors, in so far as extended to a competent aliment to the lady, which they modified to 3000 during her husband's life; although it was not secured against creditors by any alimentary provision. But most part of the creditors consented.
