A Bill, granted by a minor, safe from the exception of minority and lesion because he was a trading merchant at the time, was challenged as null, being without consent of the minor's father, administrator-in-law. Answered, That, if the minor's being a trading merchant is sufficient to presume it a reasonable act, so as to defeat the exception of lesion, it must, of course, also defeat the nullity arising from want of the administrator's consent; for deeds done by minors, without consent of curators, are effectual, if rational and prudent, as well as where they are in rem versum of the minor.—The Lords repelled the de fence.—See Appendix.
