Sweeping Reduction. OF Crorter.' Rents.

LONDON. Dec. 25.-The Scotch landowners
are in furious mood over the action Of the
Highland Land Court in reducing rents in
nearly all the cases brought before the
tribunal The Court was founded soon after
and as result Of the crofters' agitation Of
the agrarian question little over ten years
ago. There is scarcely an estate in the region
referred to whereon sweeping reductions Of
rent have not been ordered and arrears ahated;
from OF Q side OF the balance sheet to the
other-from the pockets OF the landlords

cent. In some cases the abntem emit Of arrears
has been as much as so per cent. The effect
OF the reduction OF incomes from land has been
shown in tho eurtailment OF expenses on the
men complain that they receive much less
patronage from this class than formerly. The
landowners threaten to raise the question Of
the Courts Partially. md to appeal to Parlia;
ment for setting aside Of the more radical
judgments. and. II possible. for total abolition
OF the tribunal. But there Is no probability
that the House OF Commons will act favorably
upon such a proposition.
