§ MR. GRANTasked the Lord Advocate, If it is his intention, in the Poor Law Amendment Bill for Scotland, which he is about to introduce, to provide for extending to members of Friendly Societies in Scotland the same privilege in regard to benefit money due to paupers which has been secured to members of Friendly Societies in England by the Poor Law Act Amendment Act of the present Session?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. WATSON), in reply, said, that the clauses in the old Act dealing with the property of paupers had been withdrawn from the Bill, which now included only the clauses relative to medical relief and the superannuation of officers.
