¶1I cannot volunteer the appointment of a guardian. The 158th rule of the court is explanatory and, at the same .time, positive. Instead of conforming to it, the petitioners show they cannot do so in any one particular. The petition, had better be withdrawn ; until some one can be found who will consent to be a guardian under the rule, and give the requisite security.
