This venerable and respectable Baronet, whose death we formerly announced, was interred on Monday the 4th inst. in the family vault in Dally churchyard. He was in the 81st year of his age. In public and private life, Sir Adam Fergusson was distinguished by the qualities which constitute the character of a great and good man. In 1775, he commenced

his career of public duty as a pleader at the Scottish Bar, and made a conspicuous figure in the grand cause, the event of which se cured the titles and estate of Sutherland to the illustrious Lady who at present inherits these dignities. He repeatedly represented Ayrshire, his native county, in Parliament; and, as a scholar and a senator, maintained an eminent rank among the members of that august assembly. When, in the decline of life, he withdrew from the bustle of political warfare, and devoted his attention to the improving and beautifying of his extensive domains, he carried with him the admiration and esteem of all ranks. His conduct was uniformly marked by a scrupulous adherence to the performance of religious duties; his piety was equally remote from blind enthusiasm and hollow ostentation and he met his death, whose gradual approaches prepared him for the struggle, with the fortitude of a man, and the composed resignation of a Christian. He is succeeded in his title and estate by his nephew, now Sir James Fergusson.
