By a postnuptial contract of marriage, the two fathers of the bridegroom and bride disponed their respective small heritages to them. The husband's father's estate was provided to the two spouses in conjunct fee and liferent, and the bairns of the marriage in fee, whom failing, to the husband's heirs; and the bride's father's also to the two spouses in conjuct fee and liferent, and to the bairns of the marriage in fee, whom failing, to the bride's heirs; and as he had another daughter, he took a bond from the two spouses for L.50 sterling, as I suppose, as the half of the computed value of his heritage; and the two fathers gave the two spouses 4000 merks more. In a sale of the husband's estate, the wife was found to be fiar of the subjects conveyed by her father, which were thereby ordered to be struck out of the sale; and the separate tocher in money had some influence in the decision.
