Col. Fullarton is faid to be now on his way to Conftantinople. His intention is to offer his military services to the Grand Signior, to whom he comes with powerful recommendations, and from whom he will no doubt receive a very gracious reception.

SCOTLAND.

Court of Segion. A question of very general importance to all fportfmen, and particularly to those who are qualified, was lately brought before the Court of Seffion, at the inftance of the Earl of Breadalbane, againit Thomas Livingfton, Efq; of Parkhall. In September, 1788, Mr Livingfton made an excurfion to the muirs of Glenquoich, in Perthshire, to take the diverfion of muir-fowl fhooting. Thefe muirs are part of the extenfive poffeflions belonging to Lord Breadalbane, who brought a procefs of declarator and damages, atong with a bill of fufpenfion and interdict, against Mr Livingfton, for the purpofe of having it found and declared by decreet of the Court of Seffion, that Mr Livingflon, tho' poffeffed of the highest qualification at any

time required by law for killing game, had no right to hunt upon his Lordship's open and uninclofed grounds, without his exprefs confent, and that he ought to be fubjected in payment of damage and expences. This queftion, which has raised much expectation, came to be argued before Lord Monboddo Ordinary, when his Lordfhip was pleafed to pronounce judgment in favour of Mr Livingston, affoilzieing him from the actionat the in ftance of the Earl of Breadalbane. Counfel for the Earl of Breadalbane, the Lord Advocate, the Dean of Faculty, and Mr Archibald Campbell; agent, Mr John Campbell, writer to the fignet. For Mr Livingston, Mr Solicitor General, Meffrs. Wight, Hepburn, Blair, and Hagart: agent, Mr William Buchan, writer to the fignet.

We understand, that although Lord Monboddo gave judgment, in the caufe betwixt the Earl of Breadalbane and Mr Livingston, yet the interdict is continued, by which the defender is prohibited from fhooting upon his Lordship's ground till this judgment come under the review of the Court.

High Court of Jufticiary. Aug. 14. This day came on before the Hight Court of Jufticiary, the trial of Mr Alexander Paterfon, writer in Edinburgh, indicted at the inftance of his Majesty's Advocate, for calling at the houfe of a gentleman in Edinburgh, and challenging him to meet him next morning in the King's Park, to fight him with piftols; for afterwards fending him a card, threatening to poft him as a cowardly fcoundrel at the bar of the coffee-houfes-and for, on a fubfequent day, coming up behind the faid gentleman in the Parliament Close, and, without any apparent cause or provocation, giving him a kick with his foot, at the fame time addreffing himself to a nother gentleman prefent, and afking his pardon for kicking a fcoundrel in his company; adding, that he had fent him
