HC Deb 22 May 1873 vol 216 c272
MR. DODDS

asked the Lord Advocate, Whether arrangements can be made to render probates of wills and letters of administration duly granted in England available in Scotland without the necessity for having them marked in the books of the Commissary Court of Scotland in Edinburgh?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

In answer to the Question of the hon. Gentleman, I may say I have not myself heard of any complaints against the existing law on the subject referred to in his inquiry, or that it leads to any grievance or practical inconvenience. It is no doubt proper that the subject should be discussed; but it would require the greatest consideration before any alteration could be made in the existing law.
