Lord Justice-Clerk —The applicant cannot obtain the benefit of the poor's roll unless he establish his poverty in some satisfactory manner. The kirk-session report that his credibility is not to be relied on, and we therefore cannot grant his petition on his own ex parte statement. Assuming, however, the applicant's statement to be true, I should be inclined to hold that his circumstances are not such as to entitle him to be admitted to the poor's roll.
The other Judges concurred.
