The ATTORNE.VGIUIBRA.L quiet', this was the
petition of the Comfiest Dowager of Strathmore,
praying that or Might be refe'rred to the Matter to
tax the efllltfi, as between solicitor and client, in-
curred by the Pelitionieiss chinning the.diguiry
and honours of the title of Strathmore frfr. licr nta
font son, and that they Might be ordered to-be paid
oat of the ttuat estates: 1

Mr. HART said he would not object 4; the
prayer of the• Petition being .granled, if the costs
of the Earl of Strathmore, the usscle of Ihe‘itasit,
were also allowed in the same way. Thq. port
thought it right that it should be reterr*a: tq the
Master to report what proceedings should betaken
to bring the-question as to the right to the title to
intim., as it was impossible to know who was enti-
tled to the estates until-the right to the title was
determined. The testator vested Certain estates
in trustees, to accumulate for the infant during his
finnanv. after allowing it sufficient sum for his
support and education; by the Master's report
the Earl of Strathmore was called on to defind
hiti right to the title, nod was entitled to his cbsts.
The trust estates were as much the property of the
Earl of Strathmore as they were of the infant—for
if the latter died before he obtained the age of
ql, they would be vested in the Earl. He (Mr.
egit) wished to know if his Learned Friend, the
' Gerieral, intended. to prese for that part
erthe fernier Petition of the millet which asked
to be pot ist possession of the Scotch Estates. He
'should. however, suppose lie would not, after what
had fallen from his Lordship in another place (the
House of Lords) on the subject.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—." What fell from me
on that occasion was not intended to be binding
Oil the parties. I certainly was of opinion that a
Wicotch marriage could not exist, when a woman
claiming the benefit of it as one of the parties
never had been in Scotland in the whole course cif •
her bk."

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was the in..
tention of those who acted for the inlaid to take
the opinion of Scotch Couneel on the question
until th3t was done he could not waive any claim
ou the port of the infant.
The Loan CHANCELEOR—" Let the costs of
both sides be referred to the Mostar to be taxed as
between solicitor and client, mid, when taxed, to
be paid out of the trust estates."

COX V. TROT. •
This was an Betio', by the -endorser of a bill of
exchange for 2001. against the Defendant, swats,. •
iuK partner of the house of Robarts and Co. on
whom the bill was drawn by Stephen Roche. of
Cork. The bill was left for acceptance ut the Dr.
fendant's, and on being celled for the next day, it
was returned. and an acceptance which had been
written on it was cancelled, by having ii.pen drawn
through the writing. It appeared that the drawer
of the bill had become insolvent, and it was *up.
posed that information of it having reached the
house of the Defendant in the interval betweeo the
bill being accepted and being delivered back agaiu
to the holder, the acceptance was cancelled..
It was contended. that, in point of law, this was not
an acceptance, which point was re-Served by his Lord-
ship. and the question left to the Jury was, whe-
ther the bill had actually been accepted by Ro-
harts and Co. which the Jury affirmed, and found
a verdict

BIRCH AND ANOTHER V. THE REV. OFFERY
EREft.
• This was an action by the Pmprietors of the
Stafford Bank against the Defendant, as rralorsee of .
certain hills of exchange. It appeared that the
Plaintiff's in the early part of the year 1817 did
business OS bunkers with a matt Hauled Berko, who
carried on the trade of a Inshore and corn-factor
at Chinn. about ten miles from Stafford. The
Defendant lived at Motikston, ulso iii the same
county: lie was a clergyman of the highest respecta-
bility, being nearly connected with one of the first
families in the county.and possessed of an income Of
nearly 5,0004 a year including his church prefer-
ments. The Plaintiffs having objected to advance
any money on the bills which Berk, drew upon his
factor in London (named Wright) until they hued
advice of their acceptance, lie proposed to them if
they would discount them immediately that he
should get the endorsement of Mr. Crewe to the bilis •
which .lio drew me ‘Vright. To this arsangetinentffitu
