"In general," says Mr. Powell (g), "conveyances by act of law are void as against the infant, where there is no apparent benefit, or semblance of benefit to him." An infant's grant by deed of a remainder was agreed to be void (A). So if an infant grant a rent-charge out of his estate, it is not voidable only, but ipso facto void (). However, in the note to Thompson v. Leach, it is said to have been held in 6th of Anne, that it was only voidable by him when he came of age. In...
