[Fac. Coll. II. No. 66.]
1758. February 10. Adhered to this interlocutor, but not by a great majority. It was said that curators were given to minors, not only for their own sake but for the sake of their heirs ; and therefore a minor, without his curators, could not alter the succession even of his moveable estate, except by way of testament; for example, he could not lend out his money and take the bond to himself, and to any particular series of heirs.
The case, upon the review, appeared more doubtful; and it may be doubted whether this be not a donation mortis causa, as a middle kind of thing betwixt a deed inter vivos and a testament.
