It being alleged for Elizabeth Peter, relict of William Montgomery of Mackbyhill, against Porterfield of Fulwood, That her consent to his wadset was in her minority, and she had revoked it now; and, though it was not done intra annos utiles, yet it was sufficient, she being then non valens agere, because clothed with a husband.
The Lords found, a wife's quadriennium utile ran, whether she was married or not in that time; and that she, not revoking, could not reduce.
