APPEAL CASES.

Lord Brougham, on Thursday, after judgment had been
pronounced in several appeal causes, stated that he had pre-
pared several new regulations regarding appeals which lie
proposed to have added to the Standing Orders; and for
the purpose of having them printed, he moved them pro
forma, intending afterwards to postpone them till next
session. His Lordship then moved that the following be
added to the Roll of Standing Orders :--

Whereas it is expedient to alter, in some respects, the
mode of preparing cases to be delivered to this House upon
appeals from Scotland, it is this day ordered, that in all
appeals from Scotland in which cases hive not already
been lodged, the cases of the appellants shall be prepared,
as nearly as circumstances will permit, according to the
form hereinafter prescribed; that is to say, 481=11 contain,---.
1. A copy of the record, and of all the interlocutors pro-
nounced upon the merits.
2. It should then proceed thus:—The appellant is ad-
vised by his counsel to appeal a7sinst the said interlocu-
tors, &c. (describe them ;) and he prays " that the same
may be reversed, varied; or altered, for the following
among other reasons."
3. It should thou state the " reasons," taking care not
to mix up with the argument any statement of the facts,
the whole of which ought to be shown distinctly in the
condesmndences and answers, or mutual condescendences,
and in the evidence it there has been a probation.
4. In cases where there has been any proof brought
forward either by writings produced and admitted by the
parties, or by examination of witnesses, the evidence should
be set forth in an appendix, to be headed thus:—
" Proof adduced on the part of the pursuer,. and ad-
mitted by me (to be signed) by the
Lord Ordinary." Or if any particular kind of evidence
has been tendered, but rejected as inadmissible by the
Lord Ordinary, if this is.insisted on as a ground of appeal,
the tender of this evidence and its rejection is to be
distinctly stated, and this statement authenticated in like
manner by the signature of the Lord Ordinary ; but care
is to be taken to exclude from this appendix and from the
case every document or writing which, although recovered
upon the diligence against havers, shall not be .either ad-
mitted by the Lord Ordinary, or shall have been distinctly
tendered and rejected.
And the case of the r,spondents shall not contain any
copy of the record nor any general statement, but shall
commence by stating the interlocutors appe..led from, and
then proceed to state the reasons upon which they hope
that such interlocutors may be affirmed; and shall set
forth, in an appendix, the evidence (if any) which was
given or tendered in the Court below, authenticated in like
manner as is hereinbefore ordered with respect to the ap-
pellant's case.
And it is further ordered, that both appellants and re-
spondents, in stating the " reassans" in their printed cases,
omit all general narrative or statement of the case, and do
introduce the statement of such facts only as, having been
admitted or proved, are necessary to found the reasons
and arguments in law which they wish to lay before this
House.

And it is further ordered, that one copy of the printed
case of the appellant and respondent shall be signed in
writing by two coun'el, and nu case shall be received or
laid upon the table of this House unless one copy thereof
shall be so signed.
The Lord Chancellor then moved that the said motion he
adjourned till next session.—Agreed to, and adjourned ac-
cordingly.

The inhabitants -of Beceles testified their re-
gret at the rejection of the Reform Bill by the Lords, in
having a dumb peal rung on Sunday throughout the d: y.
