Tutor and Pupil – Acceptance of the office of tutory found not proved by tutorial inventories, which were not judicially signed, and wanted writer’s name and witnesses, unless posterior acts of administration were instructed; nor by a missive letter not holograph, and without solemnities, consenting to lend the pupil’s money.
Certain acts of administration not sufficient to infer the acceptance of the office.
An affirmance with 30 l. costs.
