DISPUTE

Case Drawing To Conclusion

After a debate lasting many days and a record speech by the Albany Herald of Scotland, in which he quoted long references in Latin, French, and Spanish, the Court of Appeal at Edinburgh has reserved judgment in Miss Catriona Ma- clean's claim to be chief of her family..

Her claim is opposed by a king- man, Lieutenant-Commander H. H Maclean, Bursledon, Hampshire. who says the chief ought to be the male heir.

Many Ane Boints regarding the chieftainship of Scottish clans have been argued in favour of Miss Ma-

clean by the Herald, Mr. Thomas Innes of Learney, but he at the latest hearing confessed he did not quite know what a Higland chief

The Lord Justice-Clerk-It you go on in that way everybody will be a chler; there will be none of the common people left. (Laughter.)

Mr. Innes pointed out that it was a question of nobility, and that was not regarded as complete until it had descended for five generations.
