TIE.. FIFE- CAUSE,

Must or Loren:', JULY 18.—The House met
by Commission at tett 'o'clock.

SIR J. DUFF V. THE EARL OF FIFE.--.II7DGMENT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered in the decree in writing
upon this Appeal, and it was read by the Clerk.
It went upon the grounds which his Lordship had laid down
in the two last hearings, and in substance was as follows :
" The Lords Spiritual and Temporal do decree—that the in-
struments executed by the late Harlot Fife, in October and
N"cniberi 1808—namely, a deed of trust disposition, and set-
tlement, a deed of, alteration, and at deed of ental—are proba-
tive instruments, the blindness of the said F.arl at the time of
their execution notwithstanding. That the defect in not read-
ing over the instruments, in presence of the servants who ap-
peared as witnesses before the jury, clif',l not impeach the instru-
ments, nor affect their value as probative instruments. That the
reading and signing them in.presence of the servants is, not a
necessary solemnity of law; arathat the defect thereof eannot
imply any thing like, that for Which it has been received—the
utter invalidity of the deeds. That the said Earl must be pre-
. sumed to know the. contents of the deeds, unless the contrary
had been proved; and the more so 60 account of the execu-
Son by him of the deed- of alteration. That the Court of
'Session ought not to have sent the question tnistaa*, if these
were probative instruments or not. That the InterlocutOrs
which coMplain of the reduction of the deeds be affirmed, and
the others are reversed. That the' evidence:of the Earl's.'
blindness, and of the deeds not being read over to hits, is. good evidence to. produce on the
malt, but not conclusive evidence, if it can be shown from other evidence that the Earl
was acquainted with the conteutsof the deed*. That the deeds ;be established as probative instruments. That the Court of "Seddon do direct other isAues, in which the respondent shall be,
pursuer, antt-the appellant shall be defelidero and: that the
deeds being held as sufficient instruments, the pursuer shall be
at liberty to, bring such evidence as he maybe advised to offer,
to invalidate and disprove them ; the defender, havik the /Pm
privilege to justify alitLestablish themes probative instrAnuente."
