Scottish Court of Session Decisions

After the judgment reported ante, p. 905, the defenders presented a petition for leave to appeal. The Court superseded the petition without writing upon it, and the petitioners now moved the Court to write a deliverance upon the petition. This was opposed by the respondent, who said it was only asked in order to found the petitioner in an appeal against that deliverance, and it was inexpedient at present to give any deliverance, as the remaining points in the cause were to be instantly heard by Lord Corehouse. The petitioner answered, the time required for discussing the rest of the cause was uncertain, that he had a right to have a written deliverance upon his petition, and that he meant to insist on it.
