HC Deb 01 July 1881 vol 262 c1830
MR. DICK-PEDDIE

asked the Lord Advocate, Whether his attention has been, directed to the circumstance that in two recent cases in the Court of Session the representatives of the press have been denied access to interlocutors issued by the Lord Ordinary; and, whether the Clerks of the Court have power to prevent the judgments of the Lord Ordinary being made public; and, if they have, whether he will take steps to deprive them of that power?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. M'LAREN),

in reply, said, that, before the Notice of the Question was given, he had made inquiry on the subject; but he had not yet received any answer, and perhaps his hon. Friend would repeat the Question.

MR. DICK-PEDDIE

said, he would put it again on Monday.
