§ SIR JAMES FERGUSSONsaid, he wished to ask the Lord Advocate, Whether it is his intention to introduce Bills in the present Session for the suppression of Vagrancy in Scotland, for Road Reform, and for the abolition of the payment of Procurators Fiscal by Fees?
THE LORD ADVOCATEsaid, he had in preparation a Bill on the subject of road reform in Scotland, which would substantially carry out the recommendations of the Commissioners who had inquired into that matter; and he also proposed to introduce a measure on the subject of vagrancy in Scotland; hut he had at present no intention of introducing a Bill with respect to the payment of procurators fiscal by fees.
