§ MR. COWANsaid, he would beg to ask the Lord Advocate if it be his intention, with the essential co-operation of the other law officers of the Crown, to introduce one or more Bills, whereby, by one operation, Probates or Letters of Administration in England or Ireland, and a Confirmation of Executors in Scotland, whether of testate or intestate succession, may be rendered valid and effectual throughout Great Britain and Ireland, so that the benefits partially obtained by the Act of last Session may be placed within reach of all the subjects of Her Majesty?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATEwas understood to say that there were difficulties in the way of legislation, but that he was at present engaged in the preparation of a Bill upon the subject.
