John Douglas, merchant, pursues Anna Sharp, relict of umquhile Roberi Bruce of Pitlethie, executor confirmed to umquhile John Sharp, for payment of certain merchandise furnished for apparel to the said umquhile John Sharp, a little before his decease. It is excepted by the defender, That the said umquhile John Sharp being minor, his executors cannot be obliged for any gear furnished to him without direction of his curators. It was replied, That the pursuer being his merchant before, and in use to furnish him, and he being past 17 or 18 years of age, might very lawfully take up such merchandise as was necessary for him, viz. apparel, whereof he produced the accounts, and offered to prove the delivery of the particulars to the minor, and referred to the Lords the reasonableness of the prices. The Lords repelled the exception, in respect of the reply.
