bafiidor at Paris, with full powers and definitive inftaudions,
in fuck a manner, that, in order to terminate the Intiblefs,eves7
thing depends at prefent on the difpontions of the Mediating

Lord TALBOT and Lord KINNAIRD took the oaths at the
Table.

The Order of the Day being read for giving judgment on the
Scotch Appeal, Graham 9. Henderfon, the Lord Chancellor
quitted the Woolfack, and after making a few obfervations as
to the merits of the cafe, from which it appeared that he was
decided thereon, moved a Refolution, which tended to affirm
the decree of the Scotch Court,but without the annexation of
cofts.—The Tuition being put, it was ordered accordingly.
The Lord Chancellor then proceeded to difeufs the inegits of
the cafe in the appeal Lord Kinnaird v. Mattbewfon, wYeh he
entered into in great detail, going through every progrefive
fad that belonged to the clink, and all that had pared upon it
in the Courts of Scotland from the period of the date of the
Letter milve, (Polgavie Auguft 6, 1794)1 thropgh the pro-

fionally in elucidation and aid of his argument the comparative
difference of the adminiftration of Law and Equity between
the pradtiee of the Courts of Weftminfter Hall, and the prac-
tice, forms, and the ufage of the Court of Seffion, and the other
Courts of Scotland. His Lordiblp complained of the extreme
loofenefs of expreffion to be found in the terms of the letter
miffive, and having reafoned upon all the merits with great
elaboratrnefs, left the final decree of judgment until to-morrow,
in order that he might have Ware in the interval to frame cer-
tain words, and infert them in the interlocutor, which Ibould
