The lady now seeks to have the judgments of this court and of the Illou-e of Lords "reduced—that is to sly, annulled and declared void, on the ground that the Scotch courts had not jurisdiction to entertain action* in which neither of the parties were dotoiciled in Scotland, or had evenhad forty day's residence bvfors eitation. The court seemed tn think that, as the holy in the present action of reduction, appealed to the sante court whom jutisdictints to decide Use former caao she was denying, her case amounted to a contention that it had not jurisdiction to decide wrung, but that it bail jurisdiction to decide tightly and repair that wrung.

"I am going away," he said, "and you will see me again; I owe you something, and I wish to settle with you before I go. I have tea pairs of boots made. Take them and sell them. You will also find two more at • beershop ; that will make twelve. In the beck yard I have a goat. Nest Saturday week raffle him, and what the goat and the boots will bring, will pay you all.
