LONDON, September 29. Lord Monctinff, sitting at the Edinburgh Court of Session permitted Alexander Grant to abandon Ins action against the Countess of Seafield.

Plaintiff's counsel asked for a decree of dismissal which would permit another action to be brought at a later date, but Lord Moncrieff acted on the suggestion of- the defence that there should be a final decree, of absolvitor, and ordered Grant to pay the defendants' costs.
