Watt, session-clerk."—" hat the Borthwicks, residing at
Edinburgh, had got certificates from the parish of Livingston,
within six months, June 15, 1829, said to be descendants of
Janet Lithgow, daughter of the said Daniel Lithgow, was born
in the year 1.706, (signed) John Watt, session- clerk."—" G.
M. Robertson, minister of Livingston,June 15, 1809, the said
Daniel Lithgow was not the father of the testator, Hector
Lithgow, that was born 1741."—" Appeared John Mackay, a
native of the parish of Reay. The deponent has seen Helen
Pope at Reay, in the house of her brother, the Rev. Alexan-
der Pope ; that the said Helen Pope was never married. Sworn
before me, at Edinburgh, 17th January, 1834, James W.
Moncrieff, Dec. 16, 1705."—" Daniel Lithgow had a child
baptised in the parish of Shotts'
of the above date (signed)
John Black, minister ; Samuel Melross, session-clerk, Dec.
2, 1828.." Two affidavits, at Edinburgh, before one of the
Lords of Session, 16th September, 1834 That Alexander
Lithgow, son of Robert Lithgow. minister of Ashicrk, was
the father, and Helen Pope, daughter of Hector Pope, was
the mother of the testator, Hector Lithgow."—" The said
Hector Lithgow enlisted at London, in the Fast India service,
aged tmen4-seven, a native of Scotland, March 11, 1768, on
board the ship Talbot, bound to Madras. 'Bengal (signed)
James Coggon. East India House, January 1824."—" That in
the year 1784, the said Hector Lithgow, Commissary of Ord-
nance in the Service of the Honourable ;he Com' any of Mer-
chants trading to the East Indies, on their Bengal Establish-
ment,. died at Chuntr, 1784." A letter f; om the said Hector
Lithgow, to John Barclay, East Wemyss, is now in the Mas-
ter's Office, 29th March 1789, was written by Hector Lith-
gow, descriptive of the different periods of his life, which
corre,pand with the petition; the said letter was sworn to on
24d July 1829, in presence of J. E. Dodswell, one of the !Miters
in Chancery, at Wilton. "On the 26th day of October,
1830, I perused 21 affidavits- in the matter of Hector Lith-
gow, which appeared to
,prove clearly the illegitimacy of the
testa'or, and the relationship on the father's side; on the Ist
September, 1831, and since, I perused 24 affidavits, which
also prove the bastardy and relationship of testator on the po-
ther s side ; and oil December, 26. 1833, I perused six ffida-
vits emitted at Halifax, which appear to me to establish deaths
of John and Hugh Lithgow (prior to that of the testator). I
perused, from authorities from twenty-two of the descendants
anti relatives of Hector Pope, by which they have granted a
power of attorney to John lickford to act oo their behoof ; and
have, on the 14th June, 1834, perused eleven affidavits taken
-before turd Corehouse and Lord-Moncrieff, Judges fri Court
of Sessioit, and by which it appears to me that no marriage was
contracted between Alexander Lithgow and Helen Pope,
signed David Stevenson, Minister of Wilton, Ilawick, 10th
September, 18313." '.The foregoing petition of John Ecitford
and others to the Hocourable the Commons of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assem-
bled, does, in our huMble opinion, contain a correct statement,
drawn from the numerous documents in Eckford's pos-
session, anti which we have at various times care-
fully examined, and believe to be completely corrobo-
rative of all he sets forth. Signed Arch. Dickson,
J.P. ; Wm. Macdonald, J.P. ; Walter Scott, J.P. ; James
Grieve, J.P. ; V 1 alter Wilson; i.P. ; J. Goodfellow, Mag."
