Found that a curator is not obliged, after expiring of his office, to stock annual-rent, or to be liable therefore as tutors are for annual-rent after their office; but it is enough that they leave the annual-rents in the hands of responsal debtors.
It was alleged in this case, that tutors and curators lifting current annual-rent within the years of their office, and consequently where they are debtors to the minor, they ought to stock it quia nummi pupillares non debent esse otiosi.
Answered: They neither need to call for the annual-rents; nor, having called for them, are they obliged to employ them, seeing the minor's aliment and other affairs, perhaps debts, require tutors or curators to have ready money by them.
