Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>The tutrix and her ward differ regarding the latter’s ability to manage her own business affairs properly. The question is whether the minor has had sufficient experience. Witnesses are not in accord in' this respect. Near relatives testify that she has the capacity to take proper care of her interests as an emancipated minor. Others, equally as near, testify that in view of her inexperience and youth, her property should remain in charge of the tutrix.</p> <p>The minor has not sustained her application by a preponderance of proof. The court holds that there is no good cause for emancipation.</p>
