Thfis was an appeal from an interlocutory of the Court of
§tesion of Scotland, confirming a previous decision of the
sheriff-Substitute of Fifeehire. The respondent is the pro-
prietor of certain lands at Burtesland, in the city of Fite,
and on a notice being served on him i❑ the year 1846, pur-
suant to the 36th section of the Lands Clause Consolidation
Act, that part of their lands wouldb6 required by the appellants
for the purpose of completing their railway, the respondent
flied the sum required by him as compensation at 3,0001, a::c1
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 ajury,
as provided by the same Act, to arbitrate on the matter. This
- request was resisted by the respondent oa 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 appeal 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 cf this informality, and the Court
of Session, on appeal, pronounced an interlocutory confirm-
ing his decision. From this interlocutor the present appeal
is made.
The arguments were proceeding when we went to press.

ries, was told that a gentleman had been thrown from
