It was alleged by the compriser, That he was not obliged now by the act of Parliament to renounce, seeing the legal reversion is expired, and that the act of Parliament gave that favour to minors to reduce at any time before their perfect age of 25 years of comprisings deduced against the minors themselves, and not against their parents, being of perfect age.
