ISSUE:

Whether a minor, who, by falsely representing himself to be a major, has induced a person to enter into a contract, is estopped from pleading his minority to avoid the contract?

Whether a party is entitled or not, when a minor has entered into a contract by means of a false representation as to his age, refuse to perform the contract and at the same time retain the benefit he may have derived?
