Scotch Appeal, WALKER (v. ALLAN.--Counsel
were heard in continuation relative to this' Case,
namely the SOLICITOR GENER4L, and Mr. ALEX.
4,NDER on the part of the Respondent, and finally
Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL on behalf of the Appel,
lant, in reply.
The LORD CIiANC,ELLOR then quitted, the
Woolsack, and delivered his sentiments upon the
merits of .the Case at considerable length. He con-
cluded a very able and Argumentative speech, by
moving a proposition for the adoption of their
Lordships.the result. of which was, _that the Inter-
locutors in question, be remitted back to the Court
of Session, in order to be reviewed throughout.--
This meeting the •sense of their. Lordships, the
Noble and Learned. Lord moved to that effect, and
the question being. put, it was ordered accordingly.'
The Bills upon the Table were forwarded in
their respective stacres.

Three private dills were brought. up from the
Commons, by- Sir C. BUNBURY, Mr. FANE, and
GeneraLGAsccmsz. •

•
The Order being read for their Lordships giving
Judgment relative to the Appeal from. the Court of
Chancery of Ireland, M'Clure v.- Echjin,
The LORD CIMNCELLOR quitted the-VVool-
sack, and; as in the-former instance, entered into
the merits of the present Case,. 'at considerable.
length, and with great ability displayed a profun-
dity of legal knowledge, and exhibiting the whole
"in a lurriinous point of view.- His Lordship con--
duded wi:h moving a proposition, the general effeef'
cf which was, to., reverse the. Decree in questiOti,
of the Irish Court.of Chancery, and to dismiss the
original Bill, with the costs of the Court below. .-
Lorsd-RE.DESDALE. (Chancellor of Ireland) ex.
pressed his perfeti- coincidence in what had fallen
from his Noble-and le.:a.r.ned Friend op ,the WooL
sack, and expressed his decided opinion that the
Decree in questioo should be reversed. '
The proposition of . the L 01.1), CHANCELLOR
being reduced' to the shape- of a Motion,' the =same
was put, and ordered accordingly.,
Some:private business- was disposed of.
Lord 4CICKLONP shortly addressed the House
on the subject of Woodcock's Divorce Bill, which
stood for a second " reading that evening. His
Lordship seemed to refer to the lateness of the hour,
and the important and laborious business which had -
so long occupied the -attention of their Lordships,
which naturally tended to unfit them for the disciis-
sionof a sill to which he should have to call their
particular attention, and to his-reasons why it was
incompatible (so .we understood. the Noble Lord)
that a Bill of that description-should be entertained.-
He therefore submitted the. propriety of'postponing
the consideration of the Bill and under that im-
pression, he moved that the,SeCond• reading thereof
be deferred till Thursday=i—which was ordered ac-
cordingly-,

Some routine business was then disposed of, and
,the Bills recently brought up from the. Commons
being read a first time, their Lord3hips adjourned
Con zit:count of the intervention of Ash Wednesday)
till Thurt,clay. . ,

ARNIII ESTIMATES.

The SECRETARY at WAR reported to the
House that HIS MAJESTY
,had been waited upon
with the Address of that House, and would be
graciously pleased to give direetions accordingly.
The SECRETARY at WAR then, presented the
Estimates of the Army Services for two months.
On moving that they should lie on the Table, he
wished, he said, to take the opportunity of
a misapprehension which had gone abroad
relative to these Estimates. It had always been
usual, after receiving the Report of the Committee
of Supply, to order the Estimates for the whole
year, and to address tits
_MAJESTY that he would
be graciously pleased to order the same to be laid
before the House. By some accident, however, at
the commencement of the present Session, the Ad-
dress to His MAJESTY was limited to the :Esti-
mates for three months. After the Estimates were
laid before the House, which he had the honour to
present in the course of the preceding week, it be-
ing found that the Address to His MAJESTY was
limited to the Estimates for three months, which
had it before voted to the House, it became ab-
solutely necessary to withdraw them, as they had
been irregularly laid before the HouSe, without His
MAJESTY'S order for that pdrpose. The Estimates
were, therefore, withdrawn,- and an order Made
for the Estimates fcr the whole year, as had been
the custom every Session. This was the.only error
and the only reason why the Estimates were with-
drawn. Thtse he now presented were recisely
the same as chose which were laid on the able of
the House in the preceding week, ,and were cal-
culated on the same scale, and .c.lunded on the
same principles as those which tie House had
previously voted for three months. He hoped mere
would be no objeCtion hiS mov:ng them in the
Committee of Supply td-morrow.
The Estimates were ordered to lie on the Table.
