THE EDINEUECIII, PERTH, AND DUNDEE RAILWAY COITANY
V. LEVEN.
This was an appeal from au interlocutory of the Court of
Session of Scotland, confirming a previous decision ef the
Sheriff-Substitute of Fifeshire. The respondent is the pro-
prietor of certain laud; at liurtesland, in the city of Fife,
and on a notice being served on him in the year 1846, pur-
suant to the 36th section of the Lands Clause Consolidation
Act, that part of their lands would be required-by the appellants
for the purpose cf completing their railway, the respondent
fixed the sum required by him as compensation at 3,000/ , d
signified at the same time his readiness to refer the matter
to a jury. The appellants thinking the sum too large, called
Upon the Sheriff-Substitute of the county to empanel a jury,
Is provided by the same Act, to arbitrate on the matter. This
request was . resisted by the respondent on the ground
that the appellants had not complied with the 37th
Section of the Act, which requires that the party
Intending in such case to :Ippeal to a jury must give ten days'
notice. and also of the sum which they consider a full com-
pensation. On argument the Sheriff-Substitute dismissed
the request on the ground of this informality, and the Court
9f Session, on appeal, pronounced an interlocutory confirm-
ing his decision. From this interlocutor the present appeal
13 made.
The arguments were proceeding when we went to press.

af
jnved, viz., the Orontes, from Alexandria, and the Astro-
-Ig, from Constantinople. Mostly all the screw steamers
7,ilmg from Liverpool for foreign parts are well freighted,
