The Stnrthing had passed a resolution respect-
ing the nobility, tending to deprive them of many
privileges relative to the exercise of judicisi
rity on their estates, of exemption from the pay-
meta of tithes, &c. after the death of the present
lords or proprietors. The other now existing here-
ditary privileges and prerogative. of the nobility, as
far as they ore not contrary to the article 103 of
the Constitution, shall remain to those nobles now
in possession of them, and to their legitimate chili,-
rest, for their lives, provided they give legal proof
of their pretensions at the pest Smalling.
After the death of those persons who remain in
possession of certain noble privileges, all hereditary
nobility in the kingdom ceases. Every one who
does not bring legal proof of his nobility before
the next Storthing or Dirt, shall lose all title to it,
bah for himself and his present children. His Ma-
je►ty has signified his resolution that he does not
find it advisable to confirm this resolution as it has
been laid before him. His Majesty will, however,
take the Miner into consideration, ifs new proposal
is made to him containing the restriction or abolition
of certain privileges exercised by the Counts. Ba-
rons, and other Nobkii on their estates, rind of
their exemption front tithes; and his Majesty leaves
it to the Diet to fix the compensation that should
be reasonably given for the loss of such► privileges.
