MR. BAXTER

said, he wished to ask the Lord Advocate, If the Royal Commission about to be issued regarding the Judicial System of Scotland is to be a full and searching inquiry into the constitution, relative position, practice, and procedure of all the Civil Courts Superior and Inferior; and, if, in his opinion, the passing of the Court of Session Bill now before the House will tend to delay legislative action on the Report of that Commission?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

, in reply, said, that a Royal Commission was to be issued for the purpose of instituting an inquiry into the entire judicial system of Scotland; and he could also state that the passing of the Court of Session Bill would not tend to delay the Report of the Commission.
