Found that a curator, not having made inventory of the pupil's estate, and left doubles conform to the act of Parliament, ought to be removed as suspect; although it was alleged by the curator, that the pupil had but one bond of 10,000 merks for his estate, which was due by his brother, and so known to his relations that there needed no inventory; and found, That though a tutor, by act of Parliament, was not to have expenses he had been at himself for attendance on the minor's affairs and processes, yet he ought to have allowance for what he expended upon the processes, the same being profitable to the pupil, and also for the pupil's aliment and education.
