Court of Session Inner House First Division.
Facts:
Remit to the reporters on the probabilis causa refused in the case of an able-bodied man having four children dependent on him, who was earning 20s. per week.
In an application by Alexander Snaddon for the benefit of the poor's roll, it was stated that the applicant was an able-bodied man 38 years of age, with four children all under eleven years of age, and that he was earning 20s. per week of wages. The application was made with the view of enabling him to raise an action of reduction of his father's will, the proposed defender being his sister. She opposed the application. Walker v.
