““ ‘An infant is not liable in an action sounding in tort if the effect of holding him liable would actually constitute the enforcement of liability on contract, but he may be liable for a distinct and willful or positive wrong which is independent of the contract.’ 43 C.J.S., Infants, § 89. ‘A fraudulent act to render an infant chargeable therewith must be. wholly tortious,— if the action is substantially grounded in contract, he is not liable.’ 31 Corpus Juris, p. 1093, note 59(a); -See, . also, 43 C.J.S., Infants, § 90. It is elemental that a- minor is not liable on his contracts.””
