          The Dean stated; that this meeting was called in consequence of a letter he had received from several mentors, which he desired might be read. It was accordingly read by the clerk and is as follows:
 “Edinburg, 25th Nov. 1807
 “Sir, -- We request that you will call a meeting of the Members of the Faculty, for the purpose of considering a bill lately brought into the House of the Lords, entitled, ‘An Act of touching the Administration of Justice in Scotland, and touching Appeals to the House of Lords.’
 We do not presume to suggest any particular day for that purpose, as we have no father wish, with regard to it, than that it should take place upon whatever day will be most convenient for young and at such distance of time as will give the Members of the Faculty full opportunity to bestow that attention on the subject which its importance calls for.


 (Signed)
 William Enrkuive , Henry Lockbeern, .F Jeffery, George Jov. Bell, J. Henery Mackenzie, John A Murray”
 The following resolutions were then moved by Mr. Jeffery, and recorded by Mr. John Murray:
 That is the opinion of this meeting.
