THE LORD CHANCELLOR.

( From the/averse:a Courier.]
Our readers will recollect, that at a general meet
the county of Ross, held on the 13th day of Oct
1821, it was unanimously resolved, " that the thar
this county be respectfully tendered to the Right
John Earl of Eldon, Lord High Chancellor of I
Britain, for the eminent service he has rendered Scot)
by applying his great talents, and extensive legal ki
ledge, to the improvement of the forms under which the
is administered in our Courts ofJustice; a service fan
a worthy sequel of that unbounded labour and psi
anxiety, bestowed by him on the decision of cases it
Supreme Appellate Jurisdiction, which have justly
deared his name to the people of Scotland."
To this highly complimentary resolution lilt Lords
was pleased, in a letter to Sir James ‘Vemyss Mackei
Bart., Member of Parliament for the county, to make
following answer, which will be read with interest,
that the important judicial improvements alluded n
which his Lordship was the active promoter, are come
full operation:—

" Sir,—Upon my return to town on Saturday last I sec in
the favour of your letter, enclosing the Resolution of the Fri
holders, Commissioners of Supply, and Justices of the Peace
the county of Ross.
" It cannot but be very gratifying to me to learn that, in
opinion, I have usefully assisted In the improvement of the F,
of Proceedings in the Courts of Justice in Scotland.
" Throughout the whole of the period in which I have had
honour to preside in' the House of Lords, I have acted under a v
painful apprehension that in the decision of matters, depend
upon an accurate knowledge of the Law of Scotland, tend 'wh
ought to be decided in strict conformity to that Las), I might f
quently fall into errors, prejudicial to the people of that country.
To protect myself and them against the mischiefs consequent
upon such errors, I have deemed it to be my indispensable dui,
bestow upon the decision of Scotch cases all the labour and psi
could exert : and it is a great gratification to me to learn, that
County of Ross is pleased to record that I have anxiously et 4
toured to discharge that great, but obvious, duty.
" I have the honour to be, with much rayed,
