A deed granted by a minor with consent of his curators, being challenged, for this reason, That there were no witnesses to the subscription of the curators; answered, Witnesses are not necessary to the subscription of consenters, but only of principal parties, who are to be bound by the deed. The Lords found the act 1681 was general, and therefore sustained the objection. See Appendix.
