Excerpt from The Law of Infancy and Coverture
He humbly submits, however, that the great body of authorities advanced by him in Chapter of the present Work, and the reasoning he has founded on them, tend to prove satisfactorily, that the lease and release of an infant, as well as all other his acts, deeds, and contracts, (with the exceptions of an account stated, a warrant of attorney, a will of lands, a release as executor, and a conveyance to his guardian) are voidable only, and not void. If so, the case of Zouch and Parsons must still be considered as sound law, Littleton's 547th section, with Lord Coke's commentary on it, seems to go a long way in support of this position.
