In the Scots Appeal Caufe, Ogilvie v the Carron Company.
their Lordatips decided, with reftwO to judgment, to effeit, and
partly affirming. the decifion of the Scots Court. and partly remit-
ting the cafe back for farther eonfideration.
With refreet to the Appeal, Mudic o Comte.
Lord ELDON addreffed the Houfe at tome length; he did not
then propcife any thing for the final declbun of their Lordfhips ;
hit with reference to that,lte mooed, That the farther confider.
ation of the cafe, be idjourned till Tuefday next."
This meeting the concurrence of ttuir Lordfhips, was ordered

accordingly.
The Annual CvalUlcation Indemnity Bill was read a third ticue,
palled, and ordered to be fast to the (.011)11)0118.
DaCLARATORY BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, emitting the
Woolfack, obferved to their Lordlhips, that in con-
fequence of the -opinions lately delivered in that
Yiioufe by the Judges, upon the quellions referred to
ititgm' he had, upon confithation with other Noble
elatietla, who had great experience in the law, thought
it his duty to introduce a Bill declaratory of the law
-Tefpefting the compelling of witneffes to give evi-
' dance. A difference of 4:pinion certainly prevailed
'among the Judges, but the majority was Co great in
favour of the aßirmative of the propofitiun that evi-
. .miences were compellable, that he took that to be now
-the recognized principle of the law. Of the eleven
Judges who gave their opinion in the Houle, (even
*era for the affirmative,' and four for the negative.
When the Judges had retired, he had fome commu-
nication with a Noble and Learned Lord who bad
n lately occupied the bench he now filled, and alfo with
another Learned Lord (Lord Ellenborough), and he
foond that they concurred in opinion with the ms
jority of the Judges. Such was alto his own opinion.
Upon thefe authorities, therefore, he had framed &I-
BM, .which be would now prefent to the Houle foe,
the purpofe of having it read a firfl time. The prin.
- slate of fr, 'sleet as the neceffiry ivhkh (mentioned
It; would 4slne under &fruition on the fecond urea*,
whenunderßood a Noble and Learned Lord I
intended to propofe introducing a provifo into it.—.
For the purpofe of removing all objeftions to the
• BiH,- be had framed it as nearly as poilible in the
word's of the opinion of the Majority of the Judges.
The Bill was then read a fiat time ; and, an the
station of Lord Eldon, ordered to be. printed.
Lord ELDON Rated, that he had prepared a
elaufe to fare the law upon the quellion. He had
no doubts himfelf upon the point ; but four of the
Judges having Rated that both the negative and
affirmative of the general propo6tinn admitted of
many exceptions, he though! it advifeable to engraft
a provifo upon the Bill. When he had rendeted it
as perfell as he was capable of making it. would
fubmit it to the Houfe.
wtTatff IMPFACHNIIIT 11101MNITT WILL.
Lord HOLLAND next role, he (aid, for the pur-
' pore Of difcharging the order for the reading of the
Ir.demnity BuU, which Rood fir that day ; but he
fhould firß beg leave to make a few obfervations up-
on it. His Lordfhip then defended at Come length the
principle,aod probable effeet of that Bill. He Paid it
had been framed by the Chief Manager cf the Im.
•:peeeitment, from a conviction that it was ab(olutely
...smeltery towards obtaining the ends afjußice. And
be could not help faying, that in its effects it would,
- if paired into a law, anfwer all the ends propofed by
it much better than the meafure jug propofed by his
:Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolfack. For
by the latter meafure, although witneffes might be
. compelled to give their evidence, Rill it would be
their inte.eft to conceal many falls highly material
to the queßion at iffue. But according to the Bill
that had come up from the Commons, they could
• have no temptation to keep back any thing, as they
• were tobe indemnified from all the confequences.—
ffhwever, as the Houle Bill had been introduced, he
was ready to acquiefce in the provifions of it;—and
if that Bill fhould be palled into a law, he would
not prefs the fecond reading of the former Bill any
more. He then moved to discharge the order for the
(wind reading.
Lord ELDON thought it neceffary to repeat the
-ph:inn he had already given on that Bill, and to
declare that he thought it fulmerlive of the ends of
joitice.
The motion of Lord Holland was them agreed to.
—Adjourned to Monday.
