-WEIE FAREWELL.
Let re gaze on those mountains, irlth heather o'ergrown,
Where in boyhood I sported, ere sorrow I knew ;
let mr muse on those glens, ere my bark shall be thrown
O'er the wave that may hide them for ever from view !
I may rove through a land, as enchanting and fair.

at h is comforts as many, and troubles as ten.—
Witere the heart, all it pants for, as freely may share,
And find its attachment' as tender and tree!
But the place of our birth, like our earliest love,

To the throb of affection must ever be dear;
And Lind, or severe, as our fortune may prove,
We look back on that spot with a smile, or a tear !
Oh, yes! there's no loadstnne that equals our home—
Nor magnet so true as the pulse of the heart;
Ard the memory of boyhood, where'er we may roam,
Sheds a ray o'er the mind, that shall never depart !
Farewell to thee, Scotia! the first in contending

Against the oppressors of Freedom and Truth :
May I fall like my fathers--.thy blessings defending,
And ale 'neath the turf I have trod in my youth !

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Decants 12.
COMMISSION or Haviaw—rowELL v. MOUCHAT.

This was a proceeding by command from the Crown,
to review a decision of the Court of Delegates concern-
ing the provisions of a will, the question in which arose
from the folio.. ing circumstances:—A person of the
name of Latch fieltl, of low estate and illegitimate birth,
was provided for by his father in a will by which he
was to take at full age all the real and personal estate
of his father, to be I eld in trust for that purpose by
Messrs. Mouchat and Rich, and in the event of his
death, then to he held in trust for the nephews and
nieces of the same testator. In May, 1813, he added
two codicils to the above will, which had been made in
1807. A will was produced subsequently to the death
of the t.stator, dated the day after the date of the codi-
cils, which had the effect of revoking some of the pro-
visiens of the will of 1807, and which left the illegiti-
mate legatee of the last-named will without any pro-1
vision whatever. Upon this matter there had been a
trial at law, in which it was decided that the will of
1813 was obtained under circumstances which rendereif
it invalid, and that the codicils of the former will were
to be taken as Rood and binding provisions of the same
will. The decision of the Court of DA gates confirmed
that of the Court of Common Law, and it is on appeal
against this last decision that the present commis3ion of
review was sought and is allowed.
The Solicitor• General and Dr. Adams were heard for the ap-
pellants. Dr. Joiner and Mr. Newland are to be heard for 3h.
Mouebat. Dr. Lushington and sir. Pepys Mr. Rich, Mr. Hart.
and Mr. Wakefield, are retained for the infants who are interested
in the will of 1813.
