    Wilkes v. Pound.
    Decided September 26, 1922.
   Stephens, J.

1. A father who has not parted with the parental control of his minor child is entitled to the proceeds of the labor of the child, and a contract by such minor, made with a third person without the knowledge or consent of the father, to pay to the third person a part of the wages accruing under his contract of employment, is void and unenforceable.

2. Where a part of such wages accruing to the minor has been actually transferred by him to such third person, the father is entitled to recover the same in a suit against the third person.

3. The verdict for the plaintiff was properly directed.

Judgment affirmed.
