A wife, during her marriage, having succeeded to some tenements and lands, did gratuitously dispone them to herself and husband in conjunct-fee, and to the heirs and bairns of the marriage, which failing, to the husband's other heirs and assignees whatsoever. Notwithstanding this was a disposition without any onerous cause, the Lords found the fee in the husband. See Appendix.
