Reference for Gittin 80:1

ומקרקיש ליה זוזי וכתב ליה גיטא דחירותא על שמיה

and [the slave] will rattle some coins before the child, and [the guardian] will write out a deed of emancipation for the slave in his name.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A minor could not be compelled to emancipate his slaves, nor could his guardian do so for him. On the other hand, a minor was competent to sell movables. Hence if the slave could induce him to sell to him his half, well and good, and the function of the guardian was only to see that he obtained a fair price. According to Tosaf., the deed is made out in the name of the guardian. V. Tosaf. s.v. [H]. ');">¹</span>
