Court of Session Inner House First Division.
Facts:
A petition was presented to the Junior Lord Ordinary by the curator nominated by a minor, praying for delivery of his bond of caution, and stating that the minor had attained majority, that the petitioner had accounted to him for his management and handed over the whole funds, and that the minor had granted a full and ample discharge. The Lord Ordinary refused to entertain the petition, holding that it was not one of the petitions which are competent before the Junior Lord Ordinary under the Court of Session Act 1857, § 4. The petition was then presented to the First Division, who ordered intimation and service, and upon expiry of the induciae, remitted to the Junior Lord Ordinary. The Lord Ordinary, without making any further remit, reported that a sufficient discharge had been produced, and the Court thereupon granted the prayer of the petition.
