APPEAL-ANDERSON (PAUPER) V. ANDREW; (GILL.)
The farther hearing of this appeal was roomed this
morning.

Tnis is an appeal from a decision (..f the Court of
Session in Scotland.

The proceedings arise out of a dispute as to the vali-
dity of an alleged will under which the appellant
claimed as executrix, Dative qua Relict Testamenter, of
her deceased husband. An executrix administratrix of the
testator Alexander Anderson.
It was alleged by the respondents, who are next of
kin of the testator, that the will was a forgery.
The Judges of the F►rst Division of the Court of Ses-
sion found that the will was a forgery. And against this
deci.ion the appellant appealed to the House of Lords.
Mr. Muir resumed hi■ argument for the appellant in
support of the appeal.
The case rested principally on a comparison of the
testator's handwriting, and the evidence produced
proved that the pretended signature to the will was a
forgery.
__

The appellant stated that part of Lis evidence bad been
improperly excluded, but that the evidence produced
was sufficient to support the will.
It Is probable that the arguments of counsel will
oocupy the whole of this day.

The next cause in the appeal paper appointed for
hearing before their lordships of the House of Lords, is
the appeal case of the Midland Great Western Railway
Company of Ireland against Johnson and another.

PlM:ital.—lle is a waster carpenter and can pay at
ones.

Defendant—Not a bit of it. I am only a journeyman.
Plaintiff—Oh, I know better than that ; you have
often said how many people you keep.
Defendant—Yes ; I keep eight besides myself, and
little money I have to do it on.
His Honour.--Master I Well, he does not look
much like one. (To defendant)—Do you mean to say
you keep seven or eight men /
Defendant--No, my I)rd. Seven or eight men ! No,
■sine are all children. (Laughter.)
His Honour—Oh, that's quite a different matter. I

than they earn.
Defendant—That 18 true, your honour.
Plaintiff—Oh, but he has got children in Australia.
Defendant—But I have got eight at home and no
