Dr. Tkaill, Professor of Botany, Aberdeen Uni-versity, said that, from his observations and examinationof the Glencorsc woods, he could see no reason forbelieving that tlie trees had been injured by sulphursmoke. He had, besides, found natural causes toaccount for the decay he saw, and these were a clayey,wet, and waterlogged soil, overcrowding of trt;es, androot fungi, which lie had found both on and in tlieroots. Like evidence was given by Dr. M. C. Cookk. Dr. Wallack, analytical chemist, Glasgow, gavethe analysis of the sulphur composition of the ironstoneburned in the Lugar and Dairy districts, Ayrshire ; andtile factor for the Earl of Lglinton stated that no injurywas done to the policies of Blair Castle by that calcining,.

In reply to his Lordship, he said that five parts offree sulphuric acid in a million of air was hardly con-sistent with healthy vegetation. Dr. Augustus Dupr£, , Professor ofChemistry, Westminster Hospital, and consultingchemist. Home Office, gave corroborative chemicalevidence. The total hourly production of sulphurousacid at the two bings at the defendants calcining workswas cubic feet. The total amount of set free in London from the coal burned there, inthe months of November, December, and January, was2752 cubic feet per hour. The total coal burned inLondon over those months was 3,000,000 tons, and thatcoal had an average sulphur composition of i per cent.,and set free a total of sulphurous acid in the threemo
