In an exhibition of a wadset right, at the instance of Thomas Gordon of Earlstoun against Margaret Gibson, the Lords repelled the defence of minor non tenetur placitare de hæreditate paterna; an exhibition having no effect, either as to the carrying away, or the least impairing, the minor's heritage.
