§ MR. BIGGARasked the Lord Advocate, Is it true the police sent from Glasgow to Skye were supplied with revolvers; and, if so, under what Statute are civil officers at liberty to carry arms?
THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)No, Sir; the police sent from Glasgow to Skye were not supplied with revolvers. They had no weapons other than their ordinary bâtons.
