A NEW CLAIMANT.- In the Court of Session, Edinburgh, an action has been raised by William Stephen John Fulton, at present residing in Edinburgh, against Archibald William Montgomerie, Earl of Eglinton, to have himself declared heir to the Eglinton estates. The pursuer was formerly in the 8th Hussars, and served in the Crimea. On Friday [8 November 1872] he presented a petition to the Court to be admitted to the benefit of the poor-roll. It was remitted to the Sheriff to inquire into the circumstances of the case, and to take the usual preliminary steps.

          31 October 1882   THE EARLDOM OF EGLINTON.

Yesterday, in the Court of Chancery, Edinburgh, the Sheriff (Professor

  Muirhead) heard a petition by William Stephen John Fulton, designated as

Her Majesty's 8th Hussars, and residing at 2, Salisbury-square, Edinburgh, claiming the earldom of Eglinton.

The petitioner states that he is the great-grandson of James Fulton, or Fultown, the immediate younger brother of the eleventh earl, who, however, died prior to the eleventh earl, leaving a son (the petitioner's grandfather), who, when the earldom opened to him by the death of his uncle, the eleventh earl, was a prisoner of war, and could not claim. He maintains that while the present holder of the title does so through the female line, he claims as a male heir, and that females are excluded under the deeds. Sheriff Muirhead found relevant a plea by the Earl of Eglinton that he is entitled to appear to oppose the petition, and appointed him to lodge documents to substantiate his plea in 14 days.
