Nothing can be admitted, but every thing must be proved, against them, the same as if every material allegation had been denied by answer.</p> <p>3. Same — cannot be defaulted. Neither can a default or a decree pro eonfesso be entered against an infant.</p> <p>4 Chancery practice—evidence in chancery suits should be preserved in the record.
