Extensively amended copy of a speech of John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon, in the House of Lords, 16 July 1830, in the case raised by Frederick Campbell Stewart of Ascog against Stewart Murray Fullarton of Fullarton, and others.
Scope and Contents
According to an undated note signed `G Webster` (folio 1) the copy is written from shorthand notes by `Mr Gurney` (doubtless William B Gurney) and the extensive deletions and numerous alterations are in Eldon`s hand. A note in another hand at folio 1 reads `This as corrected and altered should be fair copied and the fair copy read by Lord E_ before it is printed if printing is intended’. It is not known if a fair copy was made: the speech is included in the report of the case in ‘Cases decided in the House of Lords in appeal from the Courts of Scotland’, volume 4, pages 214-238.
