A father provides his estate to the bairns of the marriage. There is a son and a daughter. It being queried to the Lords, if the sister might not serve herself joint heir of provision with her brother, the Lords resolved affirmatively; where the provision is to bairns in the plural number; and this was done by two practicks, 14th January 1663, Thomas Bog contra Thomas Nicolson, No 44. p. 4251.; and 17th February that same year, Margaret Hay against Sir George Morrison, No 1. p. 12839.; and so the Lords ordained the service to go on, although the brother was already served general heir of provision, and content his sister should have action against him.
