DEATH OF ANOTHEZ SCOTCH JUDGE.—Another
of the Scotch Judges, Lord Dundrennan, paid the debt of
nature in Edinburgh on Tuesday night, from an attack of
gout, followed by paralysis. The Learned Lord had only
within a few weeks returned from the north circuit, the
duties of which, owing to the death of Lord Moncrieff,
devolved entirely upon himself. Lord Dundrennan, whose
name was Thomas Maitland, was born in October, 1792,
so that he was nearly sixty years of age at the time of his
death. He was called to the bar in 1813, where he suc-
ceeded in gaining for himself a very eminent position, hav-
ing had an extensive practice, particularly in jury cases.
On the promotion of Lord Ivory, in 1840, he succeeded to
the office of solieitor•general, which he held until Sep-
tember, 1841, when the Government of Lord John Russell
was succeeded by that of Sir Robert Peel. On the death of
Mr. Murray, of Broughton, in 1845, he came forward as a

In replying to the toast Mr. Gray, whose exertions have
been the principal means of bringing the fund into existence,

in case of

they might be subject was exemplified. The donations were
