In a concluded cause, Macnab against Culdairs and Menzies of that ilk, though a minor quarrelled a discharge he had given of some years' annualrents of 100 merks, and, by the act, had proven his minority; yet the Lords assoilyied, and would not reduce; because they thought one of twenty, as he was then, might uplift his annualrents for his own entertainment, where it did not amount to a great sum, and it did not appear he had another estate to be alimented on: And why may not a minor, wanting curators, lift his rents and discharge his tenants? So minority here is not enough without lesion: and that is not presumed, in such a case, till first it be proven.
