A man having got a woman with child, did, at a communing with her friends, promise to pay a sum of money to one of them for her behoof, she being, on the other hand, to give him a declaration that he was under no promise of marriage; the Lords found, that this was not a naked promise, but a mutual bargain, and therefore relevant to be proved by witnesses.

 Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 231. Forbes. Fountainhall.
