A minor differing with her curators about the place of her residence, and extent of the sum to be allowed for her aliment, brought a process against them, in which the Lords found, “That she had the choice of the place of her residence, and modified a sum certain to be paid by the curators to the person with whom the minor should chuse to reside, as her board for a year, and a distinct sum certain to be paid to the same person for her schools and cloathing; but that an account of said last sum should be made to the curators.”
