In an account and reckoning betwixt Belshes and Belshes, concerning executry, the Lords found that the prices given up by the defunct in his testament of his own goods, should stand, and the executor be accountable accordingly, seeing there was no enorm prejudice alleged, as if the defunct had prized the goods within a half or third of the true avail, to the advantage of the executor, and prejudice of the wife, bairns, or creditors.
The Lords did also allow aliment to the wife out of her husband's moveables to the next term, albeit she liferented an annualrent, payable at the next term. See Husband and Wife.
