One upon death-bed having disponed his estate to his infant son, and the heirs of his body; whom failing, to certain extraneous substitutes; and the son, his only child, having died without issue;—in a reduction at the instance of the nearest heir, it was objected, That the privilege of death-bed is not competent to a remote apparent heir, where the apparent heir for the time is not lesed. The Lords repelled the objection, and sustained the action at the instance of the remoter heir.
