VISCOUNT DUNCANsaid, he rose to ask the Lord Advocate, whether it is the intention of the Government to include any provision in the Estimates of the present year for the Sheriff Courts in Scotland?
THE LORD ADVOCATEsaid, he understood that in the Estimates of the present year there was no such Vote, and without an Act of Parliament it would not be possible for the Government to include a sum in the Estimates for that purpose.
