HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat again to-day for the purpose of hear-
ing Scotch appeals. The Peers present were the Lord
Chancellor, Lord Campbell, and the Earl of Eglinton.

BAIN AND OTHERS V. BLACK AND OTHERS.
This case came before their Lordships upon an appeal
of the members of the Free Church of Scotland from a
judgment of the Court of Session, deciding that that
body had no interest in certain churches erected prior
to the disruption that had taken place in the Scotch
Church. The appellants contended that all the parties
connected with the Scotch Church having assisted by
voluntary contributions and otherwise in the erection of
the churches, they were entitled to hare the amount so
Contributed by them returned, or to participate in the
use and benefit of the churches.
Mr. Rolt and Mr. Dunlop appeared as counsel for the
plaintiffs, and Mr. Stuart Wortley and Mr. Gordon were
In support of the judgment of the Court below.
The case appears likely to occupy their Lordships
some days.

PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council con-
tinued their sitting to-day to hear aprals. Their Lord
Bhips sat in the council chamber, Whitehall. The Lords
present were Lord Brougham, Lord Langdale (Master
of the Rolls), the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the
Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and Sir Edward
Ryan. Their Lordships were occupied the whole
morning with the further arguments in the part-heard
case of

HITRADHAN MOOKURJIA V. MUTHORANATH.
This case came before their Lordships upon appeal
from the decision of Mr. Robertson, acting Judge of the
Court of Sadder, in Bengal.
It appeared that after several adjudications in favour of
the respondents in the inferior courts in Bengal, on an
appeal to the Court of Sudder, upon the respective claims
of the appellant, who asserted that he was the adopted
son of Gunsham Mookurjia, whose property formed the
matter in dispute, and of the respondents, Muthoranath
and others, sons of Goluk Chunder Mookurjia, also an
adopted son of the testator, Mr. Robertson decided that
the witnesses who were brought fo" d to prove the
fact of the adoption of HuradharnMookurjia were
strangers, and gave their evidence in so unsatisfactory a
manner itt dependence could net be placed on the
verity of their statements, and that the
.s adoptiondocuments
confirmed
produced for the purpose of establishing
t e
seemed to be fabrications. The Court then ht
en
the decision that had been already given in favour of
the
respondents. The appellant now humbly submitted that
Me. Robertson's view of the evidence adduced on his
behalf was entirely erroneous, and stated that the fact
of the adoption was proved by the presence of the Goo-
roo Purshita and brothers, relations, and connexions,
and by the utmost publicity being given, and that the
Learned Judge was mistaken in supposing that the wit-
nesses who deposed to the adoption of the appellant ap-
peared to be strangers and inhabitants of other places.
The guardians of the appellant while he was in his mi
nority petitioned the Sudder Court for a review of judg-
ment, but their prayer was rejected and they obtained
leave to appeal to her Majesty's Council in England ;
and the appellant, who had since attained his majority,
now prayed the Council to reverse or alter the decision
of the Court of Sadder.
iMr. TURNER and Mr. MAULE were Counsel for the
appellant, and argued at great length yesterday, that he
was adopted by Gunsham Mookurjia, with all the usual
and necessary forms and ceremonies in such cases in that
country.
Mr. WIGRAM (with whom was Mr. Lloyd) appeared
for the respondents, and submitted that the witnesses for
Pe appellant were not worthy of credit, and that the
feet of their being subordinates or strangers, when
respectable individuals, who would have had a greater
°PPortunity of knowing the facts, if true, which were
attempted to be proved on the other side, could be called,
I'd were not called, was calculated to throw much suspi-
ni on his case.
arguments were not concluded when our of ter-
-4°oll Edition went to press.

The arguments in this part-beard case were resumed

Irrevocable
suit was instituted to establish a right under an
power of attorney from the owners of the
6,`"P Miracle, consigned with a cargo of timber from St.
John's, New Brunswick, to Liverpool, and also to the
cargo itself, free from any charge for freight. It ap-
peared that the defendants, Mackay and Co., who carried
on business at St. John's, built vessels in which they
Shipped timber, and sent them to Liverpool, where
both ship and cargo were sold. In February, 1841,
the defendants, Mackay and Co., entered into an
arrangement with the plaintiffs, whereby it was agreed
