AGE-PRAYER, AGE-PRIER, oetatis precatio. English law, practise. When an
action is brought against an infant for lands which he hath by descent, he
may show this to the court, and pray quod loquela remaneat until he shall
become of age; which is called his age-prayer. Upon this being ascertained,
the proceedings are stayed accordingly. When the lands did not descend, he
is not allowed this privilege. 1 Lilly's Reg. 54.
