Dig. 26,7,28Marcellus libro octavo digestorum. Tutor pro pupillo in iudicium vocatus sollemniter cavit: si inter moras puer ad pubertatem pervenit, non est cogendus accipere iudicium. 1Tutor, qui post pubertatem pupilli negotiorum eius administratione abstinuit, usuras praestare non debet ex quo optulit pecuniam: quin etiam iustius mihi videtur eum per quem non stetit, quo minus conventus restitueret tutelam, ad praestationem usurarum non compelli. Ulpianus notat: non sufficit optulisse, nisi et deposuit obsignatam tuto in loco,
Marcellus, Digest, Book VIII. A guardian, who is summoned to court, gives security in the usual form. If, in the meantime, the boy arrives at puberty, he cannot be compelled to conduct the case. 1A guardian who has relinquished the administration of the affairs of his ward, after the latter has reached the age of puberty, is not liable for interest on money in his hands which he has already tendered. However, it seems more just to me that he should not be compelled to pay interest if he was not responsible for failure to surrender the guardianship, when it was demanded of him. (Ulpianus says that it is not sufficient for him to have tendered the money, unless he deposited it, sealed up, in some safe place.)
