[GAIUS libro quinto decimo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §26.8.11.prSi ad pupillum aut furiosum bonorum possessio pertineat, expediendarum rerum gratia et in agnoscenda et in repudianda bonorum possessione uoluntatem tutoris curatorisque spectari debere placuit: qui scilicet si quid eorum contra commodum pupilli furiosiue fecerint, tutelae curationisue iudicio tenebuntur.
[GAIUS, in the fifteenth book of his Commentary on the Provincial Edict.] If the possession of goods should belong to a ward or a madman, it has been decided that, for the purpose of expediting matters, the will of the tutor and the curator should be looked to both in accepting and in rejecting the possession of goods; and if they should do any of these things against the interest of the ward or the madman, they will of course be held liable under the action of guardianship or curatorship.
