A very singular and interesting cause was debated on
Wednesday before Lord Eldin, Ordinary, in which the
landholders of Shetland and the freeholders of Orkney are
the parties. It appears that the former have for a consi-
derabie period been excluded from any share in the election
of the representatives to Parliament for the stcwartry of
Orkney and Zeeland, in cor,sequence of the valuation of
that portion of th, island never having been divided
amongst the several beritore, and the Orkney freeholders
have hitherto .opposed in Parliament, and now resist,
that subdivision. The object of the present action is to
accomplish it by, legal means. The Lord Ordinary ex-
premed anopinion favourable to the pursuers, and directed
a condescendence to be put in for the purpose of rendering
the judgment to be given more specific than it could be on
the first pleading. The Counsel who appeared for the
pursuers were the Solicitor-General and Messrs. Jeffrey,
Moncrieff, Thomson, and George ',Copier. For the de-
fenders, the Dean of Faculty, Mr. Robert Jameson, and
Mr. Ines.—Fdiaburgh Weekly Journal.
