(From the Colonial Times and Tasmanian.) IMPORTANT DECISION.

A case was heard and determined by the House of Lords on the 17th and 18th of February last, of very great importance to the residents in British Colonies, the decision determining "that personal

property, situated in Britain bolonging to British subjects dying domiciled abroad, is not. liable to The decision was given legacy or residue duty.

on appeal from the judgment of the Exchequer Court in Scotland, in the case of Thomson v. Her Majesty's Advocate, the facts of which were briefly as follows:-The late John Graat, Esq,, a native of Scotland, died domiciled in Demerara, leaving funds in the Royal Bank of Scotland By his testament, he nominated executors résident in Demerara, and left certain legacies to parties in Scotland, and the residue of his estate to others residing in the Colony: The executors appointed Mr Thomson, their at- torney in Scotland, to administer the Scotch estate, who accordingly took out probate in the usual form. A claim was made on the part of the Crown for legacy and residue duty out af this estate, in re- spect of its having been the property of a British born subject, situated in Scotland, and there ad- ministered and distributed. This claim was resist- ed by the attorney, on the grounds that as the law. of the testator's domicile, at the time of his death ruled the succession, the liability of personal estato to legacy duty was governed by that law; and that no legacy or residue duty was dne by the law of Demerars The Court below had decided in favor of the Crown, but the case was carried by appeal to the Slouse of Lords, and ordered by the Lond Chancellor to be heard before the whole of the Judges because of its importanco and difficulty. After hearing the arguments of counsel, the Lord Chancellor put the following question to the Ju dges:-A. B., a British subject, born in England, resided in a British Colony, made his will and dict domiciled there. At the time of his death debur were owing to him in England--bis executor in England collected those delis, and our of the money be collected paid legacies to certain legatees in En- land-are such legacies lible to the payment of the legacy duty 7 He had framed the question in this general form, because the statute equally af fected England and Scotlandf. The Judges, through Lord Chief Justice Tinal, answered to the offect that though the words of the statute could not ap ply everywhere, the principle which ran through all the decided custs was, that the domicile of the decoused party gave the law which regulated the distribution of his personal property y this rule was not affected by the faiths of the personal property.

consequently that the legacy duty was not payable bert The Lord Chancellor expressed is full concurrence with this option, ani went into a very exact exacination of the esses on the subject, which, he said, completely justified the opinions of the learned Judges. He hegged to add, that the re aww why the Jutges had been summoned to give the lowe their assistance in this was that as the Faw was to be stated definitely for the British Is- hods and for all our British Calories, the Lord-
