Court of Segion. A queftion of very general importance to all sportsmen, and particularly to thofe who are qualified, was lately brought before the Court of Seffion, at the inftance of the Earl of Breadalbane, against Thomas Livingfton, Efq; of Parkhall. In September, 1788, Mr Livingston 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 process of declarator and damages, along with a bill of fufpenfion and interdict, against Mr Living fton, for the purpose 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 pleased to pronounce judgment in favour of Mr Livingston, affoizieing him from the actionat the inftance 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 Living fton, Mr Solicitor General, Mefirs. Wight, Hepburn, Blair, and Hagart: agent, Mr William Buchan, writer to the Lignet.

We understand, that although Lord Monboddo gave judgment, in the cause 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.

challenge, which he had not accepted. The indictment is founded on the act ift William, cap. 35. which enacts, "That whofoever, principal or fecond, or other interpofed perfon, gives a challenge to fight a duel, or fingle combat; or whofoever accepts the fame, or whofoever, either principal or fecond on either fide, engages therein, albeit no fighting enfues, fhall be punished by the pain of banishment, and efcheat of moveables." The indictment was alto laid upon the com mon law. Mr Robert Hamilton, coun

fel

fel for the pannel, ftated, that he had received provocation, the laws of the country would have given him redrefs. His Lordship was pleafed to pafs from the ftatute, and confine the indictment to the common law. The Judges then delivered their opinions, unanimoufly ordering informations by both parties to be given into Court, upon the facts meant to be proved, &c. and adjourned the trial to Monday the 23d of November next.
