In an action pursued by Mr George Seton against the Laird of Caskieben, the Lords found, that a tack taken by Caskieben, a minor, without consent of his curators, was as null as if he had made a disposition without their consent; because, his acceptation of that tack, if it should stand, would prejudge him of a valid tack for more years, and a less duty, which he had before.
Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 576. Haddington, MS. No. 2620.*** Kerse reports this case.
The Lords found an exception of a tack by a minor, who had another right in his person standing, being done without consent of his curators, null ipso jure.
