HOUSE OF LORDS•

THE SHEDDEN CASE.-JUDGMENT.
EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.

Their lordships to-day gave judgment in this case,
which was an appeal against a decree in the Divorce
Court, pronounced on the 27th of Dec., 1860 ; the ques-.
tion being whether William Sheddan and Ann Wilson,
the parent of the appelant, were legally married accord-
ing to the law in New York; and also whether William
Shoddan, the appelant was legitimate, and a natural born
subject of her Majesty. The contention was that William
Sheddan and Ann Wilson were not so married.

The Lord Chancellor said it had been thought right to
take time before pronouncing judgment, in order that
they might have an opportunity to go through the
enormous mass of documents which were placed before
them. For the first three or four days of the argument
Miss Sheddeu addressed herself to a certain extent to the
case before the house, but the greater portion of the time
had been wasted. The case itself was reduceable to the
simplest proportions, whether or not the corr spondenco
which took place in 1798 in the lifetime of William Shod-
den, in respect of which the appellant seeks to establish
that he was her father, whether that correspondence, just
at the close of his life, was a genuine correspondence. His
lordship then proceeded to read through portions of the
correspondence, but was constantly interrupted by Miss
Shedden. After repeated interruptions his lordship said,
'• Mize Shedden, if you interrupt me I must order you out
of the house."

Tile Lord Chancellor then said ho had real every
letter through, and I ani of opinion that the whole of the
correspondence is genuine.

Miss Shedden—My lords, I
The Lord Chancellor—Sit down, sit down; if you in-
terfere again I will give orders to remove ycu. lam de-
termined that my judgment shall not be as long as your
arguments. His lordship then proceeded to comment upon
the correspondence, and also to various portions of the
transactions between the Patricks and the Sheddens.
There was no doubt, be said, that William Patrick had
been placed in ri delicate position, but that his conduct had
not been improper, but quite the reverse.
Miss Shedden again interrupted.

The Lord Chancellor—Your observations are most im-
proper, Miss Shedden. Again, I say, sit down. His
lordship then proceeded to comment upon the evidence ad-
duced in the Court below, and ultimately his lordship
meved that the appeal be dismissed.
Lord Chelmsford then proceeded to read his judgment,
but his lordship was continually interrupted by Miss
Shedden. After submitting some time to the interruption
his lordship said, Miss Shedden, I must order you to re-
main quiet.

Miss Shedden —I object, my lord—
Lord Chelmsford— I am quite certain you will object to
every word I utter, but I am giving my judgment on the
case. I have listened to you for 20 days, and I think you
ought to hear what I have to say for at least a fraction of
that time. His lordship again proceeded, and on arriving
at that point in which he dealt 'a ith the letter of the 12th
November, 1798, which he thought most conclusive,
Miss Shedden—Forgery ! Forgery, all
Lord Chelmsford—Will you be quiet ? Will you sit
down ?

Miss Shedden (excitedly)—No, I will not. I will not
allow such observotions to pass unchallenged.
Lord Chelmsford then again proceeded with his judg-
ment, and concluded by saying that the marriage in ques-
tion was not a valid one, and that the appellant was not
the legitimate son of William Shedden and Ann Wilson,
and that therefore the judgment of the Court below was
correct, and that there was no g-round for granting the
application for a new trial. The appeal must therefore
be dismissed with costs.

Lord Colonsay was about to deliver his judgment,
Miss Shedden—l object to you, my lord, as a judge in
this case. I throw myself now upon God and my country.
The Lord Chancellor—Miss Shedden ; if you rise again
I must order you to be taken out.

Miss Shedden then resented herself, and appeared to be
entirely overcome. A little water was handed her by one
of the gentlemen at the bar, and after some time she re-
vived and again seemed to direct herself most intently to
the observation of the noble and learned lords.

The Lord Chancellor then put the motion for the dis-
missal of the appeal with costs, which was agreed to.
Miss Shedden—l protest against the judgment. God
alone is my hope. May I say one word ?
The Lord Chancellor said tho casa had now passed
from the hoes•,, and all the documents would be returned
to the proper persons.
