A young woman pursuing her mother, who liferented her portion of 12,000 merks, and her stepfather, who also by his contract of marriage was bound to aliment the pursuer according to her rank and quality; the defender offering to aliment her in his family, the Lords found the pursuer entitled to a separate aliment. Some laid their opinion on the voluntary obligement, but others differed, because that would extend to such obligements on parents to aliment their own children; and therefore laid their opinion on the obligation on the liferenter to aliment the fiar. (See Dict. No. 88. p. 454.)
