THE PALACE OF DUNFERMLINE.—The magnifi-
cent r in has long been included in the park of Pittencrieff,
belonging to Mr. Hunt, which adjoins the town of Dunferm-
line. By a recent decision of tho House of Lords, however,
reviewing a long litigation in the Scotch courts, it has been
declared that both the building r,nd the grounds surrounding
it are Crown property, and form no part of Mr. Hunt's
estate. The inhabitants of Dunfermline are now very
anxious to know how far they are to benefit by the decision.
The Scam* of yesterday says : —" On Sunday afternoon
the impatience which has arisen since the decision of the
House of Lords to obtain the fruits of what is regarded as
a victory over the Laird of Pittencriuff manifested itself
in a somewhat unpleasant and questionable form. A
number of boys forced open the lodge gate at the St.
Catherine's-street entrance to the ruins, and very soon
the Palace grounds were occupied by a disorderly crowd,
who did pot leave the place without doing some mis-
chief. A number of boys climbed upon the ruins and
the trees surrounding thorn. A number of young trees and
shrubs wore broken down, and the marauders, made bold
by iinpnnity, crossed the bridge to Pittencrieff-park, and
proceeded to the house, which is at present tenanted only
by Mr. Hunt's gardener, the proprietor having preferred
for sometime a residence on his estate of Logic. The in-
mates of the house were much annoyed by the intruders,
who were mostly boys and young men, and it was with
some difficulty that the place was cleared. A similar de-
monstration, though on a smaller scale, being attempted
on Monday, it was found necessary to call in the police,
and the grounds have since been protected by the county
oustabulary.
