A party marrying an heiress, and bringing with him a stock of money into the family, in contemplation whereof, her father, in the contract, allows a faculty to his said son-in-law, to burden the estate with a certain sum, as a provision to a second wife and children; and he having accordingly exerced that faculty, which the Lords found he had sufficiently done by marrying again and be-getting children; in a competition for the sum betwixt his Creditors and the Relict and Children, the Lords found the faculty personal, and therefore preferred the Children to the Creditors, there being here a jus quæsitum to the children of the second marriage.
