A minor gives a bond for satisfaction of a decreet obtained against his father, to whom he is heir or executor; the minor craves by summons to be restored against his bond. It is excepted, That he cannot crave restitution, because by the bond he receives no lesion in respect of the decreet obtained against his father for the debt which he must be subject to pay as heir or executor. The Lords found he could not be restored, if the debt was certain whereunto he was obliged before the bond, which must be proved scripto vel juramento.
