COLONEL SYKESsaid, he wished to ask the Lord Advocate, Whether he proposes 912 to take action on the Memorial transmitted to him in April last from the parochial board of the parish of Old Machar, in the county of Aberdeen, respecting the Valuation of Railway Property Act for assessment?
THE LORD ADVOCATEsaid, in reply, that owing to the pressure of the Business of the Session it had not been in his power to bring forward a measure for the settlement of the question between the parochial board and the railway company, and it could not be expected that any would be passed in the present Session.
