Death-bed not relevant to reduce a disposition by a liferenter, though having the strongest powers to dispone, unless he be formally fiar; and here indeed the chief question was, whether by the conception of these deeds, which were very singular, this woman the disponer was not also fiar? The first point was determined the same way in February 1744, on a reclaiming bill against my interlocutor, without answers. (Murray, the pursuer, was wife to Mr Seton.) I have not kept the petition.
