That be was assisted in signing them by his hand being led. 3. That the Deeds were not read over before sign. ing. 4. That one of the witnesses did not see him sign, nor hear him acknowledge his subscription. The Trustees an swered-1. The Earl of Fife has no tide to pursue them, hav ing nd interest to set aside the Deeds, that being cut off by previous deeds. 2. Even if he had, the grounds stated by the Earl are- not maintainable. The Deeds were properly exe cuted according to law. After much discussion, the case was sent to the Jury ; the trials on the issues lasted three days; a new trial one day. Each day the Court was crowded ; the galleries by Scotland's beauteous fair.' The Jury found— !. That the late Earl on October 7, 1908, when he signed the Deeds, was not totally blind ; he could scarcely distinguish be.. tween light and darkness; was incabable of reading and writ ing, written instrument, or printed book ; could not discover whether a paper was written upon or not. 2. That two wit.. neSses, or one of them, saw bins sign. 3. That tie signed the Deeds, by feeling for the finger or fingers of another person on the spot for signature, and was no otherwise assisted. 4. That he signed at one and the same time. if. That he signed before one witness : but was not proven that be acknowledged his subscription to the second witness. 6. That he was attentive to, anti transacted every kind of business connected with his estates, and executed Deeds of all torts with his own hands without Notaries. 7. That the only Means he took to know that the extended Deeds so signed were conformable to the drafts prepared by his agents under his orders, were his having heard the Deeds read over to him. On the second issue a new trial was g.ranted, and the Jury found it has not been proven that the Deeds were read over to the Earl previous to signing, a strange finding, the trustee argued, not finding that the deeds were or were not Lord :Fife's deeds, but merely that certain , cautions were not used in signing them. The Court of Session , did not feel authorised to go beyond the verdicts ,•' they con- firmed them, and reduced and set aside the deeds, by which decision the present Earl succeeded to the estate, yielding 20,0001. a year, in addition to the family estate. When the de cision was made known, his tenantry shouted with joy, "from Cilanimis to Cawdor," and many a mile.,beyond. But Sir James Duff appealed to the House of Lords, and prayed that the judgment should be reversed. There every ingenious ar gument was repeated and urged bk the two celebrated Scottish Advocates, Messrs. Clerk and Aloncrielf, assisted by the Eng.: . lisp Counsel already named. The trial concladed on Wednes. day, May 28. Immediately afterwards, Pointed out an Enghilt ease applicable. his LordsHp' Put the case, that he himself, by God's will, were deprivod of vision, and that in that case called On his learned co.adjutor to make out his Will. The confidence a man must have in the honour anti friendship of °then', would be to him, in th a t case, . . sufficient to: 'reader reading over again unnecessary, evp n though Will were not executed on the day on which it Walk' brought to and explained to him. It is often the object of par.' ties to conceal .their intentions from the . wOrtd or relatives.— This would be frustrated by reading over to Witnesses: re. ferred to Surinnotis, Defences, Condescendence., in which' not fact, but much reasoning, on what might hate been,. and- to former decided cases.

Referred again to the fact on whom the proof l a y, t h a t such and such thingwe're or were not done ? and decidedlY pronounced, that on the chellenger of the deeds lay such proof. The Deed of alteration preyed the Earl ..knew and understood the 'deeds first made. Presumption of law ~10 in favour of the Doeds, by a formal atteststiOn. At onittithe it used to be stated in doequet that the Deeds Were read over; but afterwards, that custom abandorird, statutory leranities must be Observed to all deeds, otherttise deeds „au t.

The LORD CitaiecrLt.on rose and delivered his sentiments on this case, which he described of value end importance, which distressed his mindintrre than almetit any ether he had ever to deal with, with that perspicuity and ability peculiar to him— marking out from the voltimmous matter he lied to consider, the specialities of the cue—observing that the issue sent to trial in Scotland, as it would be, in England, should have been A More general in substance, " re these the deedstif the late Earl of Fife?" not confining the trial to the particulars as to signing and reading over the deeds, which remained to be as. certained whether they are statutory solemnities indispensably necessary and this would have let in every circumstance tending to prove the authenticity of the deedi. His Lordship, to prove the identity of the signature " rife," very Ingeni ously sent for the Parliamentary Roll, which the late Earthed subscribed, and was satisfied that the similarity of the hand. writing aflbrdetl strong proof that the Earl signed the deeds. His Lordship neat adverted to the question, Who was bound to prove the matter ? Another ingenious observation, strength flungAnother, the proof, was, he said, that the last deed, signed five weeks after the two former, altered thefie ; and slid this not . prove • the Earl knew the contents ? The effect of the last deed was not sufficiently considered in the Court of Session. I Indeed this view never occurred to hint. The summons called for reduction of all the deeds ; the Judges in Scotland not only reduced the deeds of October, but the deed of alteration in November, 1801 If the. Statutes 1540, 1519, arid 16111, are. the law of Scotland, dots the late Earl, Who could *rite well, come under their meaning His Lordship referred to . these Statutes. On whom did the omit of *ling the signing or acknowledgment lie ? This was most Material. To a weld, are these requisites statutory eolemnides If so, the very cir consume-a outOtt ,to.lowsiettisits t,if not, what. nilsebtZi iroutr. arise by declaring such doctrines at thls day ? One thing his. Lordship yid decidedly of 'opinion was the law—that the Jr}a of Fife had title to pursue; and the ease so important, that time must be taken to weigh it well before judgmant be given. " With fear and trembling I will pronnunte it, so peculiar is '' this case." 1 W M ,AROLL and CO. caution the respect tlk able Public to. observe, it is at No. 23, LITTLE BELL ALLEY, at the back of the Bank.of England, where great advantage is allowed In buying superior genuine Teas for cash.

Lord II EDESISA LE concurred with all that had been so ably stated by the Noble and ',earned Lord; stated, with his usual distinctness, the views he took of the case, and reiterated what he raid on a former ;lay, as to the circumstances existing de , hors the deeds. Ilere, the objection of the pursuer is, that the deeds, as they exist, are not probative; and detailed, at length, what a probative instrument is. Positive law required certain soleMnities which must be observed ; but are those things in i listed on here, Statutory solemnities by the law in Scotland ? ' It so, they mnst always be observed : if not observed, deedit on I this ground of Omission alone Would be null. The main ob. jectiou in this cause proceeds, his LordAitip• think's, on an idea entertained by the challenger of the deed s , t h at f rau d was conirnitted ; iliac Lord Fife knew not, understood not, what he did. Formerly sealing watt observed, and a seal might - have! • been put after the death Of the granter, but afterwards sub scriPtion *as adopted as a more safe moue.

It would be dangerous to admit lOose inferences to °into., .1. ) g ooi strutnents. It statutory solemnities observed, the instrutn i is probative. The challenger intiNt prove that the Earl of Fife 41 did not mean to execute the identical instrument, If Ise did '' not mean to execute that instrument, here fraud would have been used ; but can fraud be proved ? It trie be insinuated that another deed was intended to be executed; but the lire sumption of law is in favour of those, deeds.

In one it Was found that the deeds Were read ever—in another, on a new trial, that it is " not proven" that they were read over. His Lordship concluded Ins distinct address, by dealer ing that, if fraud could not be established, and the deeds' are completed according to positivp . .law, they cannot, in his opi nion, be impeached. . .

This is a case of the greatest interest a nd importance—inter"- eating because the parties are distingaished in the world of fashion; the circumstances are peculiar--important, beCause, the Law of Settlements of a testamentary nature, in so far as regafds the proper " execution " of' them by a party at the time labouring under " defect of vision," though possetiming acute mental qualifications and healthful vigour, has been the subject of discussion for nine years, and by the ultimate deci sion receives the legal interpretation. The cause depended in the Court ofgession, in Scotland, fiv e y ears a nd a half—in the }(vase of Lords three years and a half. In the Court of Ses sion" all that regal learning and ingenuity of argument cool(' do W 39 on both aides applied, and the b eaut if u l system at Trial by Jury" wan resorted to, t 6 establish the facts of the ease: . In the House of Lords a hearing which occupied the better part el Six successive days, afibrdtal another n i edwinj for the display or those talents peculiarly , the Characteristic. endowments of the celebrated Counsel on both sides; namely, illr. Warren and )Ir. Aloncrieff, for the Appellant, Lieutenant-General Sir James Doff, the Son of the late Earl of Fife, the Maker of the deeds challenged ; and Mt, Attornerleneral, Mr. Brougham, and 5/r. Clerk, the Counsel of' t le Respondent, the Right Hon. James, present Earl Of Fife, the nephew, reiterating, in the most able and ingenious manner, all the arguments urged in the Courts in Scotland, and advancing others drawn from the law of England. The circumstances of the case will be learned from the fol lowing statement, which must suffice, want of room and press of matter preventing the admission of a more full report of the case by our Correspondent,—The late Earl of Fe e w as acknowledged to be a man of uneminmin abilities ; d ur i ng his whole life—one honourable to himself, because useful to his fellow creatures—down to the hour of his death, he'observ eAl anxious care and attention in the management of his affairs. This is proved by his books, kept as a correct Prop r i etor an d L a ndlord ought to keep them. So minute was his Lord ship in every thing; that even the sports of the cheer, the num ber of its victims, the state of the ,weather, the nature of his rural pastimes, and the ruminating fancier' of his vivid contem plation, were faithfully recorded. The accuracy of the fals to ac countsproduce.— of his steward and dotnetics were generally scaled by his " signature," which testified his approv p a e l r : m f in tl ic ie , ir ett re ti cu h rd e , and the fidelity of their transactions. - Some of them the Framer t o i f fies this o l e te ex po a rt an h e at ss i a o n i o h pp o or i t ,o un rd it s Y ht o p ic proceedings, and the T e h n e vi p n 4 n e g it p y r gy f o s lt w, e i tl ic in h c t p hi r i e ti ct L e r ms tlun n7 Y e i r ehling an meanie of _2%0001. a year, was the fruit of the Earl's economy ; it was , consequently, subject to his disposal. The entailed estates lie , cattied to be prepared, with preserved unincumbertsi, and these desehtled on his death, the 2fith ofJahuary, 11109, aged eighty-tern, to his brother, Earl Alexander, and on his death, in MI, these devolved on the extend the deeds present ,tames, Earl of Fife. In 1808, the l ate Earl, the uncle of the present Noble Leta an uncommon degree of' caution, a trust decd, l imi t , iftsed 01 , entail, both of which were approved, by the Earl writing On the drafts, with his own hand, ~ Mr. Inglis may agreeable to the scroll and memorandum," and each page signed by him, in all one hundred and sixty-five times., appl., ing the signature " Fife," to them. A Tomth afterwar da he executed a third • deed, altering in certain particolars the for nier two. These deeds made over all his acquired property to trustees, for certain purposes, which were 8 °- far carried into effect by them ann.: his death. At the time of executi o n hi s health was excellent, his eye4 k g ht was almoit totally gone ; however, after executing the deeds in Scotland, the Earicame to London. After this he franked, with his own hand, his letters, and corresponded correctly with those who addressed . Lien on the most important subjects Th e possessitin antiniana,gernent of the Trustees under the Deeds remained for several years undisputed. .At length, nearly five years after the late k, a rr s death, his nephew, the p res ent Earl, was advised, by Gentle men learned in theuvo, to challenge the Deeds on these grotindit : 1. That the late Earl, when he agned them, was blind to Such' a degree al to be littaPitile of dititinguiphing objects ' • that . being so, he could not, by the law of Scotland , execute Deeds himself, but should have employed two .Notaries and. four Lord REDF.SUA LE proceeded in his Usual distinct manner to deliver his .sentiments. lie concurred in all that had been stated by his Noble Mend on the Woolsack. If solemnities requisite, how many deed* of the late Earl might not their judgment overturn s This question important to all men—' blind or not. Before 1540, sealing was required, afterwards signing. This proof necessary by comparison of hands. It' instrument proved that tile party, the object of the statute cone_ plied with, as to signing. Here, blindness a fact debars the deeds—it cannot appear on them. Insanity would be a fact •simirat, if proved before and after deed the probative effect to a certain degree destroyed. Look to the roll on this table— compete the Earl's Signature to the roll with that to deeds. If I had seen him sign this roll,and afterwards seen the deede,l would say the signature to deeds was li is. Granting this, the whole {twee. tion would not be decided—as to whether the deede are Lord k iferi deeds, the confidence in the one who prepared them must be conaidered. Much requires to be considered in this view. The deed of alteration in Nov.lBoB, not dwelt on enough. The issue should have been more general and ex licit — the law and the fact of the case u n d er question complicated. Are not circumstance* tlehors the deedsrin favour or not of them ? The Appellant, Sir Jame Duff, ably urged this in his case. Put aside blindness is instrument probative ? If so, then law ought to decide on matters only doubtful—those dehors the deeds. This I most consider before I decide. The Roman rely has no application. The law of Scotland, Pretions to 1540, no connection with it ; but ancient common law of the land. The form of .attestation seas, that deeds signed before so and so. Does not acknow ledgment become equivalent to ,seeing a person sign ? The . Earl has a title to pnrsue, clearly ; and, on the whole, I will too conic to judgment with fear and trembling. Which ever' way I decide, I doubt what may be the future consequence*. Your' Lordship's judgment mast become the rule in all casette On Thursday last the Louis Cita:we:teat: spoke at cozier.' derable length uptin the subject (vide our last Paper), and yes terdey his Lordship resumed the consideration of the case, and spoke nearly two hours, as he did on the preceding days, manifesting the most complete knowledge of every point of this great cause, gained alone by n deep considera non of the voluminous Papers given into the Court of Session, which mount to upwards of nine hundred printed pages (the writer havilig for curiosity counted them), and' the most anx ious ate ration to the speeches of the Learned CounSel at the Bar on both sides, It may here be observed, diet it were well that those who are so ready to find fault should lint ascertain their objections are well founded, and by ebserving, do only bare justice to the anxious feelings and great abilities of a Judge placed in the situation of this Noble Lord, 'whose pro vince it lets long been, and still we exult is, to deliver the udg. merits of the llenie of j Lords, which, in future, on appeals, must be the rule in all rases. Ilis Lordship reiterated on this occasion Many of the observations he Made on the first day on which he proceeded to deliver his sentiments—referied to the seven several issues Rent to the Jury, and the verdict* returned to theM. Remarked on the looseness of expression in proceed ings and judgments, anti then ineerditeney, which existed as to the verdict of the first Jury on the SeVenth issue, which de clared that the only means the Earl of Fife had to ascertain that the Deeds were conforoutbly to the scrolls of them, were " his heving heard the Deeds read over to hint ;" and• When contrasting that with the verdict returned on the second issue, on a new trial, wherein the second Jury said, that it has " not been proven" that the Dee& were read over to the Earl, pre vious to his signing them ; and his Lordship at the same time that he !mutinied minutely and contrasted one part of the in terlocutor of Lord Pitznilly as being at variance with another part of is, sheering the light in which he viewed its bearinga, nevertheless paid a high compliment to the ability and propriety of thatJudge„nnd again declared his high respect for the Cietrt of Se ion. His Lordship eguin had recourse to the Scottith Statittee, and repeated his former ohservations e as to whether the Earl of Fife was to be -considered such a men as could he Said not to be able to write in the sense of the Statutee e and whether reading over a Deed to a blind man, or a man blea*ed with eye right, and subscription by Witnenes and Notarles, were in fact statutory solemnitiee impeuitively required. If so, there would have been an end of the rause waste such 14nundittNetiota; lint the Deed itself and Attestation, or what is called " Testing ssix Deed was that of the granter ?
