him. Hr considered it his duty In object to him, as it was
material to his client that be ehonld nut be allowed to appear
against hies. It was true, that ki the *testate iif Queen
Anne, the law with respect to treason hail been made the
aame iu both England and Scotland. k waii, nen withstand-
ing, not to be cmesidered that the periont wart was an
Ifinglas Court, fur it was • ficattisk Tiibunal. The Com.
mission had a local jurisdiction If they bad been Rothe-
rised to try offences in Galante, Yank, ur Edinburgh, the
ease would have turn very diticrent. They hail been •p-
-priinted to try crime* only in Scotland. The English Coon.
eel might as well e:ainis the right of pleading in Scottish
Cantu 011 every British action, as in 11w caw of high treason.
He understood it was alleged that there was a similarity be-
tween the House of Lord* and this Court. He remtatkrd
that there was an parallel between the Iwo Tribunals. Mr.
Jeffrey attempted to enforce his objection by scirpul argu.
meats, but it was nut unstained.
The Lomb' PlittstoelT mid, that by the Articles of
Vahan the law was the sense in Scotland as in England.—
The re was no differense whatever, and if Mr. Jeffrey thought
proper, he timid claim • right to plead for the traitor, at
the approaching Cowin of Oyer and Terminer, at Ynrk. The
Court would not, eves without the objection of the Prisoneeli
Canape!, have allowed Mr. Huhlotk to appear, hut the punt
had been attended to both in the year 1194 and on the pre.
sent occasion. There was no daatt whatever that Englith
Couusel had • right to appear in that Court. Scottish
Counsel had been allowed ho appear even in English Courts,
Own discussing the taw of that country. Sir J. Dalrymple
was allowed to plead in the House of Lords, in a case re.
helium to literary property. His Lordship alluded to another
ease where Scottish Creamed was attuned to plead.
Mr../ ehallmaged the arraign, as the Sheriff was
not pasta le.' as requiem/ by the law of England. He was
appointed by the Crown, sod was nut that drocription of
officer called Sheriff in E:eglated, sesei, of mune, could not be
eywithEed to recant the Panel.
The LOA. PREsIDIMT said, that the law required the
SlieZell' to make the return, and ,the Sheriff of England had
various qualificatioas. Some of them were elreted by the
citizens; one of them was ippon ied by Ilse Bishop of Dur-
ham, and Lord ?hand was hereditary Sheriff elf Westmor-
land.

Mr. Serjeant H IILLOCK replied to Mr. Jeffrey. He eon.
tended that the objection wags not well founded, and he de-
dared that was each a wild and fasseifol objection
viartivl in Englesid. He asked who would the Learned
Counsel have to make the return?

Mr irreatir maintained, that the Sheriff-Depute of Stip,
tineshire was sot that description of person which the hew of
treason required.
The Reacts declared that the statute required the Morn
to be made hr " the Sheriff." It did not say what were to
be hie qualifleatious.
Mr. Jenrette emite•ded, that the Sheriff hod oaf the
neeersary qualifications; be had not takes the oath required
by the law, and was otherwise disqualified. A Sheriff ought
to have been appointed pro re Wltidt.
The Loita JUSTPCIL CLeas obeerred, that if the ohjee.
lion was well-founded, Are law of treasos was a nullity. The
usher Commissiusers coincided in Ibis opinion, and the ob-
jection was repelled.
The fist of Jurymen, coseisting of 153 names, was then
called. One Gentleman, is forwarding a certilicate of es.
cuae,by mistake sent their Lordships a suite mooching a
*addle sod bridle. This was returned hist, and the proper
paper forwarded. This Mremustanire relieved the dryness of
the puereeiliugs, hr producing a momentary snide toms the
