§ MR. SEXTONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is true, as reported in the public Press, that one John James Moore, described as "an anti-Popery lecturer," and also known as "Brother Alphonse, an ex-Monk," has been arrested at Dundee, on a warrant issued by Sheriff Cheyne, and has been judicially examined before the Sheriff on charges of having, at various times, attempted to commit a grossly immoral offence; and, if the facts be as stated, what is the present stage of the case?
THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)The case has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal, and I expect that papers will be sent from him in a few days for consideration and disposal.
