of the guardian or next friend of such infant, decree the conveyance of any
interest, estate or term of years of such infant in any lands or real estate
by way of mortgage, in such form and on such conditions as the court may
direct; and the court may direct the guardian of such infant to execute such
conveyance. The provisions of this section are to apply to the interest or
estate which any infant may hold in common or jointly with any person
of full age, and to all interests or estates to which any infant may be
entitled in reversion, remainder or otherwise, and the court may decree that
the interest of the tenant of the particular estate, or the holder of the prior
remainders may be mortgaged with the consent of such tenant or holder.

or to a remainder or reversion, or executory devise, or if an infant be en-
titled to any trust or use in or out of such lands, real estate or chattels real,
or the rents, issues and profits thereof, in all such cases the court, on petition
of the guardian or next friend, and on being satisfied by proof as in cases
where a guardian applies for the sale of an infant's real estate, that it
would be advantageous for said infant to demise such lands, real estate or
chattels real, may decree that the same be demised for a term of years,
renewable forever, or otherwise, and yielding such rent, and on such terms
and conditions as the court may direct; provided, that where the infant is
only entitled to a part of the estate, as tenant of the particular estate, or
remainderman or otherwise, all the owners of the other parts, so as to em-
brace the entire fee if a freehold, estate, or the whole term if leasehold, assent
to the passing of such decree.
