3. No notice in relation to an appeal shall be issued to any respondent who, from the memorandum of appeal or the proceedings of the lower courts, appears to be a minor, unless and until a guardian for such minor has been appointed by an order of the Court or unless the issue of such notice be authorized by the special order of a Judge.
