Tutors and curators are accountable for insolvencies while they are in office, if culpable neglect can be imputed to them, but not for unforeseen or sudden disasters happening even then: so found 1769, Gib against Gib. The case here was, that a tutor, having received payment of an heritable debt due to the minor, from a debtor who offered it, lodged it with Messrs Fair-holmes, bankers, at that time in good credit: it was found that their failure, nine months after, did not make the tutor liable.
