James Strang, in his contract of marriage in 1682, provided his little estate of Meikle-Earnoch to the heirs and bairns of the marriage, and in his old age, when the estate was only L.537 Scots of rent, burdened with L.8000 of debt, made a strict tailzie, and in the substitution prefers his own daughters and their issue to his son's daughters, failing heirs-male.—The eldest son pursues reduction, and the defenders repeated a proving the tenor, and were allowed to bring a proof, which was remitted to the process of reduction; —and this day we sustained the reasons of reduction on the contract of marriage.
