Scottish Court of Session Decisions

This case was formerly tried by a jury, who returned a verdict for the pursuer. This verdict was set aside, and a new trial granted. The case was in the roll to-day on motions by both parties—one by the defenders to fix the new trial for the Christmas sittings, and one by the pursuer to delay the trial till after the disposal of an appeal to the House of Lords, which has been presented in the similar case of Mr Robert Addie against the bank. The Court to-day refused to take the trial at Christmas, and also refused at present to say that it should be delayed as asked by the pursuer. Both motions were therefore refused.
