LAW OF ENTAIL.

The following Resolutions of their Committee
hare been adopted, almost unanimously, by the So-
Ciety of Writers to the Sig-net :-
Ist. They are unanitnously of opinion, that the
statute 168 G, taken in connexion with the Acts 10
George 111. and 5 George IV. has been productive
of great evils, and must, if allowed to remain unal-
tered, be productive of still greater, and that it is
now necessary to provide a remedy against these
evils.

2d. They are, by a majority, of opinion, that it is
inexpedient that the power of entailing property in
perpetuity should be continued as to Entails to be
made in future.

3d. They are, by a majority, of opinion, that in
Entails to be made in future, the limitation as
to endurance should be fixed upon the principle
adopted in England the same having been found, by
experience, to answer every useful purpose.
4th. They are, by a majority of opinion, that in
future Entails, the heir in possession should be con-
sidered a liar as at present, subject always to the
specific restrictions and burdens imposed by the re-
spective Entails under which the lands may be held,
and that his interest in the property ought not to
he confined to that of a mere life-renter, whose
rights, as now ascertained under the law of Scot-
land, are too much limited to admit of a due admi-
nistration of the estate. That, in other respects,
the effects produced in England by the system of
entailing adopted in that country, may, or ought to
be accomplished in Scotland by means of deeds cal-
culated to produce those effects, without departing
from the general principles of law in Scotland affect-
ing heritable succession.
sth. They are, by a majority of opinion, that in
place of existing Entails being preserved until the
death of all the heirs now in existence, and of a re-
gister being instituted as proposed in the Bill, the
interests of the parties called to the succession in
such Entails, and the interests of the public in
bringing such Entails, gradually, though at a con-
siderable distance of time, to an end, would be more
effectually gained by either of the following methods,
viz. 1. By a provision, that the heir in possession at
the date of passing the Act, with the consent of the
next substitute of lawful age, and a descendant of
his own body, and also of the next substitute
of lawful age, not a descendant of his body,
should have power to execute a deed, putting
the estimate under the modified form of Entail, but
continuing the destination in the original Entail;
the statute further providing, that the heir of Entail
executing such deed, shall, in respect to the endur-
ance of the Entail, be considered as the maker of it,
whereby the parties having right to put an end to
such Entail, will be the issue born after the death of
the maker of the deed, on their obtaining majority,
and coming into the possession of the entailed
estate ; and further, that at the end of 70 years, it
should be in the power of all heirs, then in posses-
sion of entailed estates, to put an end to them; or
2dly. By a provision, that, after a certain period to
be fixed in the Act, it should be in the power of
every heir in possession to put an end to the Entail.
oth. They are unanimously of opinion, that it is
expedient that heirs, under existing Entails should
be allowed to disentail such part of the estate, not
exceeding a fourth in value, as may be necessary to
pay off entailer's debts, provisions to children, and
sums expended in improvements, made under the
Act 10 Geo. 111.

7th. They are unanimously of opinion, that while
Entails, now existing, shall remain on the footing of
perpetuities, and until they shall be modified by sub•
sequent heirs in terms of the Act now to be Fused,
if no provisions, or only adequate ones, are made for
wives and husbands in such deeds, it is expedient,
that the powers already conferred by statute, should
be continued, to the extent of authorising reasonable
provisions to be mad• for them.
Bth. They are unanimously of opinion, that it
would be expedient that there should be three se-
parate Bills; one confined solely to future Entails;
one fixing the mode in which present Entails may
be brought under the new system; and one fixing
the relief to be granted to heirs under existing
Entails.

person bad been permitted to sign this petition who Ilia
not fully understand what they were doing.
Lord FARNHAM presented what he conceived to be rs
petition of a peculiar kind. It was from nine hundred
and eighty females who belonged to the Wesleyan ream
gious denomination of London, who conceived their religiott
would be in!danger by the passing of the purposed Mei.'
sure for the relief of the Catholics ; and it prayed that the-
House would not carry it into a law. Those petitioners,'
the Noble Lord conceived, had as much right to petitiots
the House as any subject of his Majesty.

various parts in Ireland and England to the same effect.

pendent Protestant Dissenters of Northampton, praying

as from many other places to the same effect.
wished to say, that many of these petitions had tele'
rence to the Bill which he understood was the subj
of their Lordships' deliherations last night,-..be meant
the Bill for disfranchising the forty-shilling freeholders.-"'
The reason of his absence was ill health. With regret
to that Bill, he should certainly have said it was within
the competency of Parliament to pass that Bill, whethee
occasion called for it or not. He should have looked 1°
the Bill as a sort of purchase-money for the Catholic Be'
lief Bill, and therefore he should not have given his COn'
sent to any such Bill.
The Duke of WELLINGTON observed that no ohs re'
gretted more than he did the absence and ill-health of the
No'de and Learned Lord.
Lord ELDON resumed—as to the Bar of Scotland, he
thought it his duty to say the learning, the knowledge they
had of their profession, and of matters not immediately be-
longing to it, would do honour to any class of individuals-
to get them to present to Parliament a petition against the
proposed measure. A petition was presented by the free'
Mr. Lee, of high respectability against it. The PresbYWrY,

The NOBLY. Loan presented another petition froa!' •
Mr. Mahon and another, praying to be allowed to be'
heard by counsel at their Bar, against the Disfrancbisillt
Bill. The petitioners were not personally interested, Ird
stated that the franchise of a number of individuals depuPue
upon them. In the address of the petition the petitiou"..,
did not state that it was the "humble" petition,
they, however, " humbly" prayed, !cc. ; and a questl°ll
would be, whether this was sufficient or not. The Noble
Lord begged that the petition might be laid on the tablea
Lord ELDON considered that as respected the WO
humble, the petitions was such as might be received; hi'
that the petitioners being themselves no interest, it '9O
not competent for them to make the application.
Lord MOUNT CAS HELL said, that Gorman 1410,_°11
and the other petitioner having been ringleaders of tne
agitation in Ireland fur a long time, any application coining
from a quarter so suspicious ought not to receive nauch
encouragement from their Lordships.
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Lord WINCHELSEA presented numerous petitions
from various parts against the measure.

sequence of accounts of a contrary nature that had already
been presented to the House.

ships resolved themselves into a Committee upon the Bill
for the Relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic Subject&
