A father appointed Helen Ramsay, his wife, and five other persons, to be tutors and curators to his son; the major part accepting, and being in life, to be a quorum, the said Helen Ramsay being always one, and sine qua non.

The Lord Newhall, Ordinary, found the tutory void, and remitted the brieves for service of the tutor-in-law in common form. And, on advising a reclaiming petition and answers, the Lords adhered.
