In this case the question, whether the triennial prescription applied to the arrears of aliment for a natural child, was raised; but the Court did not decide the general point, but held, that even if it did apply, it was elided by the writ of the advocator, Butchart, subsequent to the three years; and he was accordingly held liable for aliment, which was modified to L.4 per annum, on account of certain furnishings which his relatives had made to the mother, for behoof of the child, during his absence.
