Minor (law)

“Minority is to give total impunity.”

“If an infant commit an assault, or utter slander, God forbid that he should not be answerable for it in a Court of justice.”

“Infants have no privilege to cheat men.”

“In one sense all British Subjects who are infants are wards of Court, because they are subject to that sort of parental jurisdiction which is entrusted to the Court in this country, and which has been administered continually by the Courts of the Chancery Division.”
