Note 120 — Part III.
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
The legislation of Solon is said by Diogenes Laertius (who is however contradicted by notoriousnotorious evidence) to have excluded from the position of guardian anyone who had the right of succession to the ward’s estate. And this was also the law of England with reference to guardians in socage. In France the next in succession had the charge of the estate, but was excluded from the custody of the person of the ward.
