HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The House sat to-day to hear Scotch Appeals. The Peers present
were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Somerset, Earl Fitzwilliam, and
Lord Brougham.
THE EARL OF STRATHMORE: V. SIR JOHN DEAN PAUL, AND OTHERS.
The arguments in this case, which were commenced on Tuesday, were
resumed to.day. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal
from the decision of the Court of Session in Scotland, refusing to reduce
four deeds executed by the late Earl of Strathmore. The facts of the
case may be shortly stated as follows :—The late John, Earl or Strath.
more, who is a descended from the family of Lyon of Strathmore, whit h
since the llth century has held a distinguished rank among the Nobles
of Sew land, and one of whom in 1370, married Lady Jane Stewart, the
daughter or Robert, King of Scots), succeeded, while a minor, to the
family estates, which were at that period considerably burthened
with incumbrances. During his minority sales were effected by his
Guardians, by means of which, a great part of the property was saved,
and it was afterwards increased by purchases made from the rents of the
English property. The late Earl, who was 3 mon of singular disposition
and who chiefly resided in London, died in 18:10, leaving an illegitimate
son, to e hom he bequeathed the whole of his English property, and after
whose death, four Deeds were discovered which were intended to regu-
late the succession to his Scotch estates. The first of those Instruments
was a Deed of Entail ; the second, what is called a Deed of Nomination ;
the thirst, a Trust Disposition conveying to Trustees the whole of his
property, heritable and moveable in Scotland; and the fourth
was a Deed, by which he named Sir John Dean Paul, an
Executor and Trustee, and in addition to those he had already
named. The effect of those Deeds was to debar the appellant
from succeeding to the Scotch Estates, and to accumulate the rents and
profits of the estates for a certain period for the purpose of having them
invested in land, to be entailed by the trustees fading heirs of his own
body, along with the original estates entailed by himself on the heirs of
the appellant ; under these deeds the respondents entered into possession

of the trust property upon the death of the late Earl of Strathmore, and
continued to apply the proceeds to the purposes of the trust. In 13'26
the appellant brought his action for the reduction of the deeds, and for

a declaration of his right to succeed to the estates as heir male and heir
of line of his deceased brother, the late Earl. The grounds upon which
the appellant sought to set aside the Deeds were, that the trust
disposition, SD far as it excluded him from ever succeeding to the
Strathmore estates, and directed an accumulation of the rents
was illegal, and consequently that the whole of the Deed were inopera-
tive and invalid ; in addition to which it was contended that the Deeds
were vitiated, on account of the erasures they contained. Upon the case

coming on before the Court of Session, that Court declared that the
Deeds were not contrary to the law of Scotland, and were consequently
valid. Against that decision the present appeal was brought.
Sir William Follett, Dr. Lushington, Mr. A. M'Neill, and Mr. W.
Monteith appeared as counsel for the appellants; and the Attorney-Ge-
neral, and the Solicitor-General for Scotland, for the respondents. The
latter Learned Gentleman, who has come express from Edinburgh to
argue the case, has a fee of one thousand guineas.
The Counsel for the appellants were heard on Tuesday ; as was al►o
the Attorney-General, on behalf the respondents.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for Scotland ( Mr. Rutherford) addressed
their Lordships to-day on behalf of the respondents.
Sir W. FOLLETT being too ill to reply, the case was adjourned to
Tuesday,
