After our report left yesterday,
The Means, before adjourning the inquiry, dated
the course he proposed to take. Lord Kingston bad
been only served with notices of the petition for an in-
quiry into the elate of his mind Wove a Nester in Lunacy.
Under the provision of the Act, if it was decided that the
inquiry should be made by a jury, notice of such mini be
given within seven days atter the receipt of the notice of
the petition. Lord Kingston had, however, allowed the
seven days to pass without demanding • jury. The 43rd
eviction of the Act provided that in any epee if a jury was not
descended. and the Lord Clumealler was satiated
lives personal examination that the alleged lunatic

med to take eence on oath or otherwise is mport of the
petition. Bat then the 43rd section provided -that if the
master acting under the commission artified that ati is-
quiry before a jury was expedient, then a precept should
issue to the sheriff directing him to summon a jury. Now,

nary ; she to allow Mr. D. Seymour to bring
forward wry witness he might think proper on the other
side, and time to have an interview with the alleged lusatbs,
in ardor est be might be enabled to judge whether or not he
was assalayeampetent to form or express a wish for a jury.
At pigment, therefore, the inquiry would be confined to this
mint, sad to whether or not the intervention of a jury was
expedient, sad not extend tothe main issue of malty or in-
se If he thouglrt that Lord K ingstop's wee a cam that ought
to be tried he should so certify ; if not he should proceed

The Court then adjourned till to-morrow (this day) at 11
