Liferent annuity payable yearly without mentioning at what terms, the Lords found, that the interest of the fiar and liferenter behoved to be regulated by the legal terms of Whitsunday and Martinmas; 2dly, The liferentrix having died on Martinmas day in the morning, betwixt the hours of two and three, they found, that her executors have right to the Martinmas half year's annuity, because they thought, had her husband died on the term day, she would have had none of that term.
