[Kilk., No. 7, Tutor and Curator.]

This was an action at the instance of Curators against a Minor, to force her to concur with them in a deed of administration which they thought necessary; and the question was, Whether there was any remedy competent?

The Lords found there was none in this case.

Lord Elchies said that a tutor acted for his pupil; the curator of a furious person likewise for him; but an interdicted person acted himself, with consent of his interdictors; and in the same manner a minor, with consent of his curators, whom he might want altogether, unless when his father named for him; and when he had them, was only obliged to advise with them. And this seemed to be the opinion of the bench.
