The power of freeing curators from omissions and from being liable in solidum is competent to the father only: the minor cannot do it in any nomination made by him. So found by Lord Auchinleck, 12th December 1772, and adhered to by the Court, 16th July 1773, Rae against Watson; and the decision held good in another branch of the same cause, 30th July 1775, Mathie against Watson. See 8th February 1710, Lord Liberton against Johnston, observed by Fountainhall and Forbes: but, it is to be observed, they report the fact somewhat differently.
